There are several threads on this forum in reference to Treadwright, tons of good reviews and very little negative feedback. I personally just bought a set and going to have them installed next week.

Im up for new tires soon, and that is the route that I am going. I have done tons of research on them, and have found nothing bad about them.

I've got 15k mostly highway and like 10% offroad. Still love them. 4 are outstanding with no issues. The fifth one I can't get perfectly balanced has a lateral balance issue. So it's my spare. They have been great as a cheap tire before I move up to 35s. I might buy them in 35 but undecided. Basically if I knock up the girl ill get them again lol.

I have a little over 20K on mine. Mostly road use with mild off road use. They are wearing great, got a little noise to them but not bad at all. Do great in rain, haven't had them in snow due to not having any last season. They are heavier than other tires of the same size. Get them balanced exactly the way they say. If the shop won't do it that way, go to a Different shop. I have one as well that won't balance and it is my spare.

I am a ferm believer on buying brand new tires. You guys say you have one tire that will not balance so you use it for your spare, what if 3 tires don't balance or 2, then what do you do have 2 or 3 spare tires. And what if you're driving or off roaring and a tire becomes off balanced and now your spare is unbalanced, doesn't sound good not worth the risk good luck with those tires.

The company is great to deal with. I had one that got scuffed/cut in shipping. They replaced no questions asked. I've also had a club member that had one not balance and they replaced. I'm just to lazy and only will be running these till spring then 35s!!! Yes you run more of a risk balancing but the company ha outstanding support.
