so i just got my set of treadwright tires in and i was wondering can i just take it anywhere and get the mounted and balanced or do some places not do that because they are retreads....they came with bfg at carcas and bfg at tread....they look pretty sweet cant wait to mount them

 

Post pics I wanna see them

 

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!

Just take them in somewhere and get them mounted and balanced. My tire place never even blinked or asked me about them. They just did what I asked and billed me.

 

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.

 

I got the 285/70r17 they are 33x11.5 and I got the warden rated E and from what I know it's a 10 ply tire and a D rated tire is a 8 ply

 

Yes I trust them, I haven't read any bad reviews from ppl that have used them only negative I've read is from ppl that speculate that they could be bad but they had never had any experience with the treaderights and yes for sure keeping sensors....ordered 4 for now and will order 5 to match later....shipped to my door 640 something bucks not bad at all if u ask me!

 

Those look nice man, I hope they are as good as I've heard...I'll probably be going to 35s and all they have is the M/Ts but I can't wait! Saves a few hundred dollars when you can buy 5 35s for less than $1000 shipped!
Let us know how it goes for you!

So what's better 10 ply or 8 ply?
