Here is a news article. Its a .pdf file format.

Its more about tire failure but should help you rest easy that they are as good as new.

I wonder if you factor in that there are less retreads on the trucks than new tires
how well that percentage would hold up

I bet the percentage of retreads would be allot higher

The article does not go into that much detail. They were speaking of failures that cause road debris and accidents. So your guess is as good as mine. It was for informational purposes only. Use it at your own discretion.
