You are right, forgot that. They use them on drive or pull tires.
I still have used retreads on all 4 on cars before and had no issues.
Wonder how they would stand up to airing down....?

Re: Retread Mud tires???
I too have a glass body and well... It sure would get wrecked if my
33's had total tread separation at highway speeds.
For the cost of off road tires, if the retreads were any good I would
think folks would be using them.....

Re: Retread Mud tires???
>I was wondering what people think of retreads?
There is nothing wrong with a good retread.
Only problem is, you need to know the reputation of the retread company and the
quality of their workmanship. There is no way to visually inspect the tire for
the differences between a quality retread vs. a Maypop.
