Remold tire from Treadwright anyone?

[GeorgeM]

Hello,
Has anyone used the 37x12.5x.16.5 MT tire from treadwright?

Not that size but was very happy with a set of LT | AT WARDEN 245/75R16 10 PLY REMOLD USA I got years ago that were on my M880.

I bought a set but the stock two piece Humvee rims could not be balanced to the level I wanted. I decided to go with H1 wheels. For the short time I had them they seemed fine. Much better than the old military tires that I had. Can't beat the price.

I have never had faith in re-treads, and these appear to be re-treads.

What's safety worth?

Now I know tons of people buy retreads, and lots of people might respond to tell me they have only driven re-treads AND they swear by them. And that's OK. I'm going on my personal experience.

I had a set go bad and de-laminate. Every time I'm on an interstate going for a long drive I see the treads lying on the road.

I just don't personally feel good about them. IMHO, YMMV.

Tires are the one thing where we should not skimp. They are the only thing that touches the road (unless, things go really badly).

+1 for the LT Warden series. I haven't had a chance to see how well they do off-road compared to their inspiration tire but they seem to do perfectly fine in normal driving.

Well, on the sidewall it clearly reads REMOLD IN USA.



While "remolding" certainly IS a way of retreading a tire, there is a big difference in the process, for each:

There is a big difference in remold and retreads. If you have ever flown on an airplane then there is a 95 percent chance the plane had a remolded tire on it.

A retread is simply glued back on. The remolded tires encase new rubber and cut it out after the treatment process.

Honestly, looking at the process, I think that these actually look pretty good. If I couldn't find newer, used surplus tires in my area for a reasonable price, I'd absolutely give these a shot. They don't quite leave the same bad taste as traditional retreads do.

A friend of mine has been using them for years and has gotten several others to use them as well-including me. His family owns a heavy equipment business an they see a large volume of tires in various sizes and brands an they have nothing but good things to say about them. I have been very happy with them an have recommended them to others also and they have followed suit with using their tires as well.

Like previously mentioned they are a complete remold and not a retread, the video on their process is pretty interesting to watch an I have heard that customer service and quality control is good as well-although the people I know have not had an issue with any of the tires. The one set I bought were the "blemish" discounted ones-I have no idea what the blemish was as I went over them with a fine tooth comb and couldn't find anything. I also got the ones that have the crushed walnut shells an glass in the tread and they grip very well in snow.

Ahhh, so there is a source for "new" tires for the Deuce somewhere near 9x20.

They still make the titan 373 NDT commercially

Try Feltz Tire in Marshfield, WI.
