Default Tread Wright tires

Has anyone bought or used tread wright tires? Their prices are good and they look decent. How is the wear on them?

Wow. Kedge grip. Ground walnut shells and crushed glass mixed with the rubber. I suspect that fillers in the rubber have a negative impact on treadwear... I'd be interested to hear from anyone running these.

For around town use and the trail I'd probably give them a try but not for long commutes/trips. I dunno I was just always taught that tires and brakes aren't something you skimp on... Although semi-trucks use retreads all the time...who knows... Maybe a guinea pig will surface soon...LOL!

On my second set on a 96 Dodge 1500. Wear is about as even with any new tire that I have ran ! The Kelg grip will wear faster, but are nice on ice !

A friend of mine in sales runs them on a 1 ton 7.3.

There is a lot of positive feedback by the jeep world if you care to do a little digging ?

The MT on my 02 dodge diesel dually. Was running a Detroit NoSpin rear diff. at the time. Tires were excellent in construction. Had all seven with matching carcass's.

Well worth the money.

I have not used them in a few years but I have run to mud tires on a few of my trail trucks the quality was good and they were great off road. I would recomend them to anybody for off road use and limited on road travel. Their services was great too. I did have some treat separation on one of the tires and I had a replacement within 2 business days after I sent them pictures.

I don't know about the AT style tire but if you do a lot of on road driving I would stay away from the MT's. Those things screamed like a banshee at 70mph. Road noise was crazy on them and the bigger you go the harder they will be to balance.
