    No retreads here ... :eek: ... I don't try to skimp on tires or shoes ... both are important for safety & comfort ... :D

    PS .. When retreads come apart ... they usually tear up everything too.

    Quite for a M/t, but I think its more of a super aggressive A/t.

    Man, I was strongly considering getting some retreads in the warden design with BFG A/T shells. With the extreme heat out here, I just can't trust em. I WILL however be getting one as a full size spare :)

    Im running the Guard dogs in 255/75/17 with BFG KM casings. Could not be happier. Did alot of research before I bought and couldn't find any bad reviews.

    Just giving you guys feedback on re-treads I have 1 year with 265/70 wardens and i couldn't be happier. I guess the only complaint is that they raised their prices but still way cheaper than new.
