I have had their tires on my rig for 3 years and many many wheeling trips. They get aired down on the trail, and run well aired back up in the highway. No issues at all so far. My rig gets run pretty hard and has had all 4 off the ground a couple times. Airing them down does void the warranty.

305's and 315's are dubbed "off road only" (although they are DOT legal) and they do no warranty them. my 31's however have a 24k mile warranty

Has anyone enquired about the void of warranty over deflating their tires?
That really makes me wonder about the reliability of the retread when pushing them. I drive my rigs hard. I turn bumps into jumps and drive through rivers that I really shouldn't, and we all know that doing so means serious beatings given to the rubber wrapped over the wheels. When you've got the pedal to the floor, all you have as a buffer is your rubber. CAN THEY REALLY STAND UP TO A NEW TIRE?

I dont see how they would be any less durable than normal tires
just make sure you air back up before hitting the highway, heat due to underinflation is what causes the treads to fly off
