I run my Guard Dogs pretty hard sometimes. Honestly I like them better than the Procomp XTerrains. Treadwright has got it down. Perfect rubber compound and their new bead to bead design is a solid looking tire too. I run the old design and have the new as a spare.

First of all the Treadwrights are not a "retread". They are a bead to bead "remolded" tire. You are not only getting new tread bud new sidewall rubber as well. I am not a fan of retreads as I have experienced the bad things associated with them. I did a lot of research on these tires and have read less negative reviews than I have seen for most new tires. I have 13k on mine and frankly love them, their customer service is top notch and even if they don't come out with a 37x12.50-17, they will have a customer for life. I will just have to stick with 35's. I will buy their tires again!

I understand hat not all their tires are bead to bead re older. Even their web site indicates retread on some models. I like the tread designs, but just not sure I trust the quality. With that said, if they are bead to Nebraska, why would there still be another manufacturers name stamped on the sidewall?

Not doubting everyone's good results with the tires. There just seems to be a lot of debate around these things. I think I'll just stay with Nitto......

The new b2b design has the Treadwright name and name of the tire on the outside just like any other tire. I run tgeir "old" design and have the b2b Guard Dog as a spare. Its a great looking tire and Ive never had an issue with the "old" design Guard Dogs. I probably have close to 25k on them.

Love mine. Had a small issue with one a couple months ago, but zero problems getting help. The company warrantied the tire, and shipped It out within a week.

I had a set from tread wright up until recently.. I put well over 80,000 miles on them, about 60,000 they were on a Toyota Tundra, then swapped them over to my Tacoma and ran them for at least another 20,000 miles and had only one issue where it looked like the tread was starting to peel, so I took a picture of it and called them, they shipped me a new tire and told me to email them the picture whenever I got the chance, now that's customer service!!! I think the tread design was called the howlers, aggressive tread design and pulled REALLY well here in the Mississippi gumbo they were pretty loud after probably 20,000 miles, but what m/t isn't? they no longer make this tread design I think, I was a very highly satisfied customer and will be looking into them again when it's time for another set.

I didn't, I had a locally owned tire shop do it, but retreads may not be legal where you are

I hear Walmart will install anything with stickers, check out Meineke too.
