I'm surprised that no one has replied as Treadwrights are commonly used by forum members. I've hear nothing but good things....

Yes Sir and besides retreads are illegal in this state as is breathing air etc. But you know, we see California road kill all over our highways from semi trucks from out of state. Not to mention the fact for the safety of families with young children during a rollover because of a blowout. Retread= disaster!!

Yeah thats my main concern is at slow speed i would run them but not on the freeway. Ive seen the damage a retread can do to a car let alone a person
