I will never understand you if something isn't to your standards you continue to make stupid remarks is this how you get your jollies? Why is it so hard for you to just leave a thread alone seriously.. It's ridiculous for one to run a mud tire on a daily driver and two there are other good tires on this planet. So either accept that others don't have your same opinion or get off this forum.

I cant vouch for the actual tires you are looking at but i can for retreads. I am in the commercial truck tire business... We dont actually cap the tires up but sell truck tire casings to retreaders. Not only are they safe, but they are cheaper. Most people thing that all of the "road gators" they see are from retreads alone, where in reality there are a mix of both. The explanation is simple.. improper tire maintenance. overinflation / underinflation / not enough tread left / vehicle or truck not aligned properly.

 

Here are a few articles on the subject.

On the tires you have listed Sarah, I just recommended then to my younger brother who is looking to save some cash on the tires. I would buy these before ANY cheapo china brand.

 

Everyone has their own opinion on retreads, and I'm sure the above will not change your mind if your against them. Truth is, in this economy, companies that retread have no choice but to put a product on the road they can stand behind. Their livelihood depends on it.

Don't ban me bro, but you maybe you should take your own advice here. Everyone has opinions. If don't want to hear them try PMing those who agree with you.

Nothing has been "deleted". You have expressed your opinion, so is it really pertinent to the topic for you to keep making comments like that?

I have made 3 posts that have magically disappeared from this thread. If they weren't "deleted", then what happened to them?

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      With large equipment or deep mud it is more of a use the higher gear to avoid spinning tires, getting stuck because of spinning tires and doing damage to your machine. The idea is if you run out of torque before you spin tires you can still downshift for more torque. If you are just spinning your tires in the lowest available gear you are stuck and things break.   Automatic transmissions, traction control and electronic transfer cases change the calculation a little as you the driver have less control over each piece.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.
