Default Treadwright tires?

Anyone have experience with these? The prices are awesome, but retread tires scare me a bit.

You'll find tons of threads on them if you do a search.

Love my Wardens. I have had them a year now and have no complaints.

I did a few searches and people seem to be happy, but just wanted some direct feedback. Thanks! Think I found my next tire. I can get 5 for the price of 3 big name tires.

Interested as well. How big of a tire can you get as a retread?

Check out the treadwright site. I'm going to order 315/70's. Big as they come I think.

I think most people are. I am. I have about 10,000 miles on my 315/70R17 Guard Dogs with Kedge Grip and their tread depth still looks like new. I've 'wheeled the piss out of them too. I'm incredibly happy with these tires - I'd go so far as to say that they're the most well-rounded set of tires I've ever owned, and I've owned a lot of different 4x4 tires over the years. My biggest complaint (if you can call it one) is that they're a bit noisier than I expected them to be, but they're not bad. Their best attribute is their incredible traction - they're best in the rocks and especially in snow & ice. These tires work like magic in snow country.

Thank you. I was hoping for 37's or 40's.

I wish they had 37x12.50R17's in their Warden tread pattern.
