They are illegal to sell in my state. My friend had some, and driving down the road one day the tread flew off, almost sending him off the road.

My dad ran them years ago and never had any issues. Treadwright is supposed to be a really good tire. Do a search and you'll see some very good reviews.

I've ran 4 different sets over the years from Treadwright, NEVER an issue.

My nieghbor is now running them, loves them........

A retreaded tire should not be 'aired down' for wheeling, they must stay at a constant pressure......I'll buy them again soon for street rubber, no worries on my end!!! Great freakin deal!

Buddy Baloo in the club had them on a TJ, 33's, ran em 1.5 yrs, good pricing, no problems, sold them to go to 35's. The new 35's were store bot, not retreads. Now it's winter, he had a flat, had no full size spare, was funny to see the TJ with two donut spares on the rear till he got it fixed. The 33 retreads were street and many trail runs with good performance and no issures, Baloo wasn't afraid to work em.
