Treadwright retread tires

[Wingman]

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.
