    actually this is my 3rd set of treadwrights. best tires i have ever run. I use the mud terrains and i get about 70k miles on each set. I commute long distances in my truck and put about 30k miles on it per year. I have never had a single problem with the treadwrights and I have been able to buy them for $400 for all four. I know that retreads get a bad rep but the guys at treadwright have really done their homework and got it right. There have been others that have had a few probs with them but I have also had brand new BFG's blow out on me before.

    Here's another suggestion:

    TRXUS MTs from Interco.

    These come in a 265/75/16. This is my next choice for tires when my Bridgestone Dueler AT Revos cash out. I've talked to several people who highly recommend them. I had a set of TSL Radials on my old Scout II and loved them. Just my two cents; trying to help out.

    Check them out if you want:
