I had the Treadwright ATs( Looked like BFG AT's) and o man were they horrible. They causes such a bad sway because the rubber compound they used was so soft i could move it back and forth with my finger. Good luck with yours tho, im sure that tread pattern will give different results. |

Don't scare me there lol I feel like they don't sway and that there pretty stable. But if I do start to feel a sway I might get different tires. But for now I'll stick with these. Thank you for the heads up thought i appreciate it

I have the same type as yours. Getting ready to order a second set due to miles only. These are great tires and to company oofers great support. Keep them rotated, and if you think they are loud now...wait for them to get very worn. |

Just curious, how many miles did you get out of them, and how often did you rotate them throughout their life? |

That is called the "Guard Dog" tire, and their BFG KO pattern is called the "Warden". I have run both tires, and my wheelin' bud has run them...and we've had ZERO trouble out of them. They are loud...but they are excellent tires. They use a truck compound for the rubber so it should last 50K easily. |

I rotated every other oil change. Next time will probably do every. I will have about 35-40000 miles on them when i replace them, ( i skipped a rotation or 2, should not have) could push it but for the cost why bother. I am a little higher than the tread indicator now and hope to order a new set right after the first of the year. |

I can't believe anyone would run a set of caps daily. Dedicated trail tires I can see but daily drivers... especially on a steer axle. Your asking for trouble. JMHO |

Treadwrights are not plain old caps. Search online. Yes they are retreads, but they are very high quality. I have yet to find a poor review of them. And have not seen any reports of separations either. Many people use them. I had a set until I went bigger. They were some of the best riding and handling tires I've ever owned. |

JMHO Then you don't know what these tires are. Run a set of these, then report back to us. I promise you'll be hooked. I ran 'em on the interstate, in the woods, mud, snow, ice, rocks, hauling loads, spinning them on obstacles...you name it I threw it at these tires, and you never could even tell they were recapped, much less had any trouble out of them. The question almost should be, why would anybody buy NEW tires when you can get these, save money, and help the environment? The only reason I'm not running them on the KJ is because they didn't offer the style I wanted in the size I wanted for this Jeep. |

If you're going to have problems with retreads - it'll be under the same conditions that cause problems on original tires - i.e. high speed, high temps, heavy loads, low air pressure. so to & from work shouldn't be much on an issue - now hauling a max load in South Texas in August running 80...... might want to rethink that. and always check your tire pressure on a regular basis |
