i think your dads prolly wright since it has new tread over the old holes it prolly dosent matter

 

X2.....

But i'd still call them and let them know......

 

whered ya get them from

 

I say dont worry about them mark the ones with the patch and install those in the rear, notify the place you got them from also. Keep track of the milage when you mount them.

 

I got them from treadwright.com

 

Several years ago when we had a local retread place here in town, when they took a good set of carcasses in, they ground down each tire in the set, used die grinders to grind out any holes, rusted wire, and pulled any old plugs. After this they would patch any holes to seal up the spot and then the tires went in to be wrapped with rubber and vulcanized. The new tread will seal up any holes from the outside and the patches adds reinforcement to the spot from the inside. You shouldn't have any trouble running them front or rear as long as you keep her under 90.

 

patches wont make a difference either way. when you plug a tire it is short term, but when you patch the inside like that it is for a lifetime

 

I thought retreads werent legal anymore like since the 70s biasply days?i know they do em on semi tires but even they cant have retreads on the fronts by law when i worked at a truck tire place

 

but even if it is illegal which i know here it isnt, how many police are going to pull you over and say "your tires are retreads, those are illegal"?

 

Exactly,and theres no inspection here in South Carolina so theres no way of them really telling unless a cop pulls you over and knows what retreads look like lol.

 

The patches are part of the retread process. I didnt know they were illegal either, i woul dnot worry about it though, noone will ever notice.

 

But if they did....that would suck to not get inspected and have to buy new tires. Very doubtful it would happen anyways. Of course if you have a bfg mt carcass and all terrain tread then someone's gonna be scratching their head looking at that.

 

Its a BFG a/t carcass so they really shouldnt notice.

 

Yeah i saw that so no one would ever know except you...and us. You'll have to pay me to keep my mouth shut.

 

i mean i didnt think any places would actually do them. whats the cost? over new?
