Treadwright tires
Anybody ever run these?
I ran a set of their MT tires (the old ones that looked like Goodyear MTR's) on my old F250 diesel years ago (like 2007-2008). This was back when they were just putting new tread on old casings so I had Yokohama casings. I got the walnut shells in the tread. I never had any problems with them except that they wore out very fast (I only got about 20K out of them, I suspect they were made of soft compound rubber). I drove on them year round and their winter traction was amazing (not sure if it was due to the walnut shells, soft rubber, or both).
I see they are now doing their own AT tire with their name and everything, and it's promised to be a 50K tire. I've been looking at 275/65R20's and at $150 each, they are definitely tempting since that makes them about $90 cheaper per tire than similar AT tires in that size. Everyone poo-poos on retreads though. I'm more curious if one could actually get 50K out of the tires, after my experience with the older ones. Price difference isn't enough if the tires last half as long as a regular set of LT tires.

Read the reviews online, not only for the quality but customer service. I bought a set because I was being cheap like an idiot, none balance, they vibrate like crazy, and when they pull apart at the bead they will blame you, call you a liar about the miles on them, and they won't warranty their defective tires. Also it takes 3 voicemails to get customer service to call you back. Tires are also riddled with patches. Avoid avoid avoid.
I ended up paying stupid tax and sprung for a set of Coopers to end my misery. I have TW's left that still have mold nubs on them that hold air and look ok. Hopefully some idiot on FB marketplace with a squatted Ram 1500 will want them.
