Retreaded mud tyres

If your looking for good cheep tyres on ebay try (thetyrekingonline) he sells in lots of 4 only and are cheep. delivered to your door

IMO if your going to use a retread, then as long as it's a "cold process" system such as "Bandag" then i would stay away from any other,
"Bandag" system was primarily invented by Rommel in the desert in WW 2, & then progressed manufacturing by a German, I've seen many a truck tyre retreaded in this system up to 8 times on one casing, unfortunately the cost of retreading a L/truck / 4x4 tyre is just as costly as a semi tyre, just not viable.

hi kimba 10
i had a set of bridgestone atr's recapped with the bandag process and after doing only 2000k's and going to 3 different tyre dealers to try and get them balanced i gave up and got rid of them
never again will i ever have a tyre retreaded
could'nt stop the vibrations it was going through the vehicle like corregations

there are to many new cheap tyres around soif you want mho go for new ones
cheers barry

Don't want to argue but if you have never used retreads then how are you able to say they are dangerous can't be from experience and the rubber on the side of the road generally comes of truck tyres not retread mud tyres trucks usually retread their steering tyres then put them on their drive or trailer then if the cases are still good they might use them a 3rd time because new tyres are expensive if you have 22 wheels to look after. I don't use retreads myself but if they are as dangerous as you reckon they wouldn't be allowed on the road my wife use to put them on her town car yrs ago and never had any trouble But if you live in the north of oz your prone to having trouble I been told by friends in Darwin with the heat on the roads once they get a few km on them..I say give them ago

Sorry but I was unable to make much of that out.

I used to run retreads when I was young and broke (more broke than now!) and found they were to dangerous on a car let alone a fourby.

But you may have more experience.

To comment on the safety of a retread is farcical as every aeroplane flying, right up to a Airbus 380 flys with retreaded tyres. 500 tonnes doing 300km/hr and spinning up from 0 to 300km/hr on landing without delaminating of the tread from the carcase.

As with everything it would come down to the condition of the carcase that is used to bind the retread to and the quality of rubber used. No reason they shouldn't be as strong as any other tyre, but with the prices they are advertised at on ebay is pretty close to a factory new so don't think I could justify the experiment.

Personal choice only.

wht a stupid coment
-we dont drive on arcraft tyres - there is NO simularity

retreads were around 20-30 years ago with passenger vehicles and for a VERY good reason are pretty much unheard of now every one including me has had personal experience seeing the treads peel off of them back then it was considerd acceptable but as manafacterer accountability laws came in they dissapeared
