I'm interested in seeing what these look like...what kind of Treadwrights did you get (as in Guard Dogs, etc.), also what size did you get!? I'd love to see them, they are on my list of things!

I didn't even know these existed. Saves like $55-65 a tire!
Do you trust them?
I'm with you on the mounting....wondering if some shops will have an issue with that. Is there something on the tire that designates its a retread? Otherwise seems like you just show up to you favorite shop and have them mount them, no questions asked.
You keeping your factory TMPS sensors right?
What size did you go with? Whats the difference between the D and E ratings?

With you having the same tread as the original carcass, they'll never notice. There's a DTD about 3 miles from my house and they wanted to charge me $50 to mount and balance 4 tires. But a small mexican tire place did it for $20.
