Hello from Osan AB Korea,
I have a question about purchasing re-tread tires from TreadWright tire company. My question is I own a 1999 Chevrolet Silverado 4X4 Extended Cab short-box pickup truck and occassionally I tow a 32 footer camper, Terry Quantum Fleetwood super-slide and I am going to need new tires for it when I relocate from Osan AFB Korea to Scott AFB Illinois where the truck is located at now. I was wondering if re-treads in an "E" load rating would be alright to buy and are they safe to use or DOT approved. I just want to know if I iwould be making a mistake if I bought these. I was looking on Ebay and saw these tires on a Michelin carcass in a LT265 75 16 size so I called the number on Ebay and talked to the individual out of South Dakota and he said they would cost $382.00 shipped to my door at my home in Mascoutah, Illinois and that would be on a "E" load rating raised white letters on a Michelin carcass tire, according to what he was saying on the phone and he also said there is a 24,000 mile waranty or a 24 month warranty. So I am leaning towards buying these but I have never ran these on any of my cars I have ever owned. What are your guys thoughts? Thanks alot, Bob

New, no name tires can be very reasonable, and much safer. Retreads will eventually lose their treads as they wear, this is a fact. The tire guy I deal with has Cooper brand, they are good tires for the money, and they produce many sub names such as Mastercraft, Cordovan, Dean, El Dorado, that are reasonable with out being unsafe. I have Cordovans on my vehicle right now, and very happy with them, they've outlasted the previous 2 sets of BFGoodrich tires I've had.
