There's no way in hell I'm putting retread tires on my truck.

TreadWright tires aren't retreads. They are vulcanized just like the tires you're running right now.
And, at one point this company had a 2% failure rate on their tires, which was lower than "new" tires.
And, universities and government agencies have both studied "road gators" and have concluded that using retread tires on commercial trucks does not increase the amount of failures. The failures are almost always due to underinflation and improper tire maintenance instead.

I've seen retread tires rip entire fenders off vehicles over the years, vehicles running over slung off carcasses suffering major damage sometimes to the point of severe human injury so sell that garbage to someone else.
I'll get my rubber new thank you.
P.S. My G.I. Joe had life like hair and a pull string that made him shout commands.

Yeah they do, I've been trying to imagine what they would look like on my wheels except white letter out. Found a set of 35's in my wheel size for $280 each shipped. Must deny t e m p t a t i o n . . . . . . . . . . . . ahhhhhhhgggggg!!!

if you're looking at KO2s they don't offer the white letters on any 20" sizes anymore, just the original KO.

That is ignorance, of the subject, talking. Look, learn, then make a conclusion. They make retreads and remolded. Both are equally safe, as compared to brand new tires. Studies by both the DOT and NHSTB have show this over and over again. Most people only know retreads by the carcasses left on the road. You don't see all the NEW tires that have blowouts or tread separations simply because they don't come apart as often(nature of the manufacturing process differences of each). On that note though, new tires also come apart and throw whole treads as well. Usually, however, those get taken off by either the wrecker or the person they happened to because they of course want the wheel it is attached to back. Rig drivers aren't going to go 1/2 mile back down the interstate to get theirs.
Remolded tires are practically new tires without the cost of the steel belts and steel bands (in the beads) or the cost of working that steel into shape for their intended uses.
These are remolded and you couldn't tell if they didn't have it stamped on them. They are new tires, basically, from bead to bead. There is no seam to pull apart and I have a 2 year road-hazard on them. All for about 65% of what I would buy other brands for. Ride nice too.
