I'd consider them on a "ranch-truck" thats never going to see highway speeds.

Pretty sure these are what a local kid I know bought for some hay trucks a while back. They had them mounted up at the COOP and almost made it the 2 miles home at 35mph before one separated and bulged a big banana into the middle of the tread.

Unless it’s for a feed truck or something like that which will only be used for banging around the ranch off-road or some backroads at 35-40mph I’m going to have to pass. Though I know a Toyota dealership around here that buys them to put on the lifted trucks they sell.

Yeah, after looking a little closer I agree they're best used for specific purposes like ranch trucks.

Thanks for the feedback.

I have bought and used them. I would not buy again.

They are fine at highway speeds and much better than old-school retreads.

Two issues keep me from buying again:
1. Their stock in retread tires is dependent on acquiring proper sized old tires toe re-manufacture. So, what you want may not be available. For months.
2. Warranty is such that if the new tread busts in 2 years, THEY replace it. If the old part of the tire busts or the new tread comes loose YOU eat the cost.

I had both issues, went through 6 tires, 2 went bad. One bad tire (tread cracking) replaced by TW--actually had to get 2 because my exact tire size not available. One bad tire I ate (retread separation from donor tire).

Cost-wise, it came out the same as buying the cheapest brand new AT truck tires from Discount tires, Nitto. This latter bit is much less hassle, so I won;t buy Treadwrights again, unless some circumstance makes them the smart play: super hard-use eats tires in less than 2 years oand lots of trucks maybe.
