Eh, no matter what anyone says to me, I would never go for retreads. Especially when it comes to something that is one of the most important things if not the most important on your vehicle. I'd leave retreads to semis. my dad drove a semi a few years back and they would buy new tires for the front and retreads for the back so if one of the tires blew in the back, there would be a safety support system in place where the other tires would pick up the slack for a little while. Since our vehicle has 4 wheels and it is top heavy, if one blows out, your rolling over no doubt. Same with some wheel spacers. If you lose a wheel on the highway with an suv like the blaze, it won't end well.
