Title: Treadwright tires??
Post by: Krawler00 on September 16, 2016, 09:44:58 AM

Just happened across this and a couple of things I like...

1. American made.
2. Cheap!
3. Decent looking tires (look like old mtrs and bfg ats.

Just never heard of them.

They have been around for several years. I know a couple people who run them on their light duty DD trucks and they seem to like them. They had more sizes available but I guess they are slimming down some. They used to make a 37x12.5x17 in the old school MTR pattern for right at $250 /ea shipped

They have been around for 40 years. I've been wanting to try them for a while but never have.
I read they use softer rubber so the tread wears faster- less than 20k miles. Add that to the shipping & installation costs, I think I'll wait until I make mine a trailer queen before I consider them again.

Yea they have been around for a long time. I remember seeing their ads in the back of magazines when I first got into fourwheeling. They were the first retread off road tires that I had heard of. only go up to 35s though.
