Either treadwrights, or Firestone Destination M/Ts

I've got the Treadwrights and am happy with them. Warden style and Guard Dog style. Most states retread laws are for commercial vehicles only and don't apply to passenger vehicles.

the way i understood it was that retreads are illegal on steering wheels on any vehicle at least in mass but i only know that due to my getting my cdl so i may have read it wrong

From what i understand no matter the state, retread laws only apply to class II vehicles and above (bus, tractor trailer, delivery, etc) - not passenger/light truck tires - and position (steering vs drive) does not matter.

DOT Federal regulations state that the only place a retread can't be used is the steer tire on a BUS.
I doubt that any state is anymore strict than that.
When in doubt call someone or treadwright I'm sure they will know and tell you straight.
Its what I plan on going with when I buy tires the next time.
