High-Tec retread tires

[David_VT]

Retreads going on today...



Nice MichXLT casings with the OTR green diamond tread. Expectations are high but...



I seem to remember a 25k tread warranty but will have to go back and check the site.



I bought these just for winter but am very hard on tires. .



... Time will tell

So Jeff,How many miles have you gotten out of the recaps??

I bought a set of High-Tec retreads for a '48 CJ-2A a several years ago. They were the 31" mud-terrain radials. They were great, had zero problems, and I would have no issues with trying a set on my truck. I was impressed with the quality of re-treading.



BTW, I'll bet 95% of those road gators are from semi trucks, not cars and pickups.

and lots of them are from new tires too... not all from recaps

Yep, it's common for a driver not to notice a low or flat tire in his eight sets of duals. Then it gets hot and mutates into a road gator... . :-laf

The experience with my hi-tech retreads was overall positive.

The tires were very aggressive looking, rather noisy as one would expect and they lasted about as long as the warranty.

I think I invested about $330 into that set with the green stuff for extra traction.

In my environment (ice and snow), I did not fully 'realize' the traction from that green stuff.

I wonder if my mix was a bit light?

I am now about through with a set of goodrich tires that replaced those hi-techs.

The green monster is about to become a second tier vehicle in the household fleet. It is ready for another front end (which destroyed these expensive goodrich tires).

I picked up a $500 1995 jimmy that will take up the daily driver position for the rest of the summer.

Love my Dodge but running it is getting expensive in the repair department...
