when i was at pick and pull the other day i missed out on a set of almost brand new ones. probably about 85-90% tread left. i was kickin myself in the butt so hard for missin out on that... |

Yes they are, For some reason the tires that are on the truck (also 235/70/15) measure just over 27 inches , these measure just over 29 uninflated!
thanks for that web site BTW. i will have to check it out. i just dont know about running recaps...but then again, i really havent heard anything bad about them either... i will have to do more research.:icon_call: |
From my research before I bought them, I couldnt find any bad reviews about treadwright. I feel that retread tech has probably come a long way, they are DOT cert. Are green and cheaper. The rubber you see on the highway are from truck recaps which is a completely different type of recap. These you can use front or back. Only on trucks and buses can they only be used the back. some more links

So the tires have been at the garage since sat. They mounted them and then their balancer broke. Should be done today I post pictures when I have them on the truck. Hopefully tonight

all set, a little noise on the road but not bad
I need to get some caps https://blazerforum.com/forum/attach...ine=1361305178 https://blazerforum.com/forum/attach...ine=1361305178 https://blazerforum.com/forum/attach...ine=1361305178 |
yep!! looks good man.
BTW, the other reason that they dont put recaps on the front of trucks is if they blow out and the cap comes off, it normally takes out the hood/fender since its made out of fiberglass and sometimes they will even take out the air cleaner on the side. im still looking into them though because its not like there will be a lot of weight on them plus i wont be speeding down the highway. |
