I have been running my Treadwright A/T's (30x9.50) for a full year now and have had absolute zero issues. I have driven across Montana on them more times than I could count and had them aired down to 12psi for 6+ hours on trail rides. I've put just under 15k miles on them, and they still look like new.





I would not hesitate to buy another set of these tires. They perform very well in snow, ice, heavy rain, and off road. The only thing they don't do is get rid of gumbo mud ( but if I was really worried about that, I'd probably have got some M/Ts).

They balanced extremely well. All four tires were within 1/4 to 1/2 ounce. The tire guys didn't realize they were retreads until I told them. They were pretty impressed.

i get the picture but can someone go into more detail about the retreads?
what exactly are they, and if they going to give way why would they even be legal. especially for wheeling?

Is there any major difference between retreads and new tires? Do they have a shorter lifespan or anything like that?

they look awesome and im thinking about a set for my self but the only bummer is that if you get a nail/hole the tire has to be patched from the Inside....so unless you have another spare which most jacked up trucks i see with high dollar rims/tires only have a set of 4....then you down for a while.

thats what they told us, but we dont have a wheel machine so we plug them, ones had a plug for over 16000 miles and no issues. but the best plug is a patch from the inside. we just wont spend the money and it works so we use em
