i bought them from here:

c) they are not mounted with no weight on them.

 

That is what we are here for. To learn and teach..

 

You need to get em mounted so you can tell me how they ride. I am seriously considering a set.

 

Those are Hankooks aren't they? If so how do they handle? Have you had em in the snow and ice and such yet?

 

You and me both.. atleast for my next set. Except for the shipping (about $18 a tire) they are about the same price I paid for Goodyear Wrangler Radials from Walmart.

 

Yep but you must compare apples to apples ... MT to MT and the price is pretty darn good. I am still leary of retreads but may consider em.

 

they handle great except for water

Dude I aint trying to bash ya you know I just wanted some of my experts opinion.

And and we are all learning from this thread right.

 

Heck even comparing MTs to ATs... If you can get MTs for a smidge more than ATs that is a good deal.

 

just askin

 

Well yeah, that too...

 

I did get them mounted, and I LOVE them. Awesome in the mud, awesome in the snow, awesome in the rain. Quiet, balanced easily, and ride great.

 

The one thing you can pretty much find on all retreads is the "buffing" on the sidewall. A friend of mine used to own a tire store so I've been around a few retreads. The other thing you can look for is that allot of re-treads are not the same brand tire, such as you will have a cooper tire, bfg, hankook, and firestone but have one tread pattern. I have a set like this out in my shop

 

Their not retreads, I've seen the 35" version up close and yours look the same as they did..

 

well even if they are retreads, as long as they ride and perform good who cares...heck i might try to find a set, they seem to be way cheaper, and im sure the making process is similar to the original
