He said they won't alter their quality requirement of casings just to sell tires which I can honestly appreciate.
That is good to know, quality is better..

Well I put about 1,000 miles on my TreadWright 31/10.5/15's and have aired them down to 10-15psi for the beach and they ran fantastic in the sand. After the sand "cleaned" the tires you could definitely tell they are retreads. I have NO problems with them so far...Tj
P.S. even though they say 31/10.5 they are in reality 30.9 high /8 wide.

Had the same thought... which also lead my brain to thinking about 16" wheels. Maybe it's easier to find 32s for 16s??

32's are a popular size in new tires so casings are probably damn near impossible to get.

Yea, I have been debating on moving to a 16" rim and getting treadwrights 265/75/16. I think I will end up just buying some Maxxis Big Horns in the 32x11.50x15 flavor though.

I measured my 31x10.50 MT-G's and they measure right at 10" wide and are on BFG KO casings and that's unmounted.

I have the 31" mts (the style that isn't an mtr copy). I need to get 2 due to driving 3 hours home without realizing I destroyed my tie rod on the trail. I was going to get the same ones, but then I found

http://stonetire.com/store/otd/

they look the same, but I e-mailed the company and asked how many rows of tread blocks they had and he said 4 for a 31x10.5. Treadwright has 5. I would rather have 2 rows in the middle than 3, but I can attest to the quality of treadwright and know nothing about the quality of stone tire.

has anyone used these or heard of them

I have a set of the OTR ultra grip and they are awesome off road. But they are way to soft, when all the sand was on the ground cause of the snow the bigger chunks would get caught in the tread. Honestly I can't tell if it is the walnut shells coming out or the rocks going in. But I now have holes in the tread, so it's almost like they are siped.
