Title: Treadwright retread tires
Post by: Wingman on January 28, 2010, 09:43:27 AM
So, you need a set of tires...
First set were 33x12.5x15 MTs on a 1997 Jeep Wrangler. $80/tire. Got 30k+ miles out of them with diligent rotation and powder balancing product inside. More than adequate traction in most all situations. Some road noise.
Second set were 265/75R16 ATs with \"Diamond Grip\" compound on a 2002 Yukon XL 4x4. $90/tire. Still on them after 25k+ with diligent rotation and powder balancing product inside. Excellent traction for snow and road. Minimal road noise.
Third set were 33x12.5x15 MT-D with \"Diamond Grip\" compound for the same Wrangler. $100/tire. Still on them. Rotated and powder balanced. Work well on rocks, mud, and snow. Some road noise.
Fourth set 285/70/17 MTRs on a 2001 GMC 2500HD 4x4. $117/tire. New this winter. Powder balanced. Work great in the snow. Some road noise.
Where can you find a good tire at a little more than half the price of new? Are you are environmentally conscious? Just plain cheap? Answer = Treadwright!
Great tires at a great price. And they stand behind their product.

So What is the process for buying a tire online, just buy it on line and wait for the pissed off UPS guy to show up? Or do you buy them through a retailer like Tire Trax? and Whats powder balancing? I want to get something more aggressive for the XJ before the 4x4 101 event.
thanks

On line or by telephone. They roll so the UPS guy shouldn\'t be too miffed.
I use Equal Tire Performance 4oz drop in bags for my 33s. They can be sourced on line or at DeCarolis Truch parts counters for around $5/bag with special valve stem included.
