Would avoid otherwise.

Tires are ridiculously important. If they fail, it could kill you. Same with the brakes.
Save them for fleet vehicles, I say.

>>2012Reason I made this thread is I had an argument with a relative on these damned things. all cause I said I needed new tires soon. "my friend drove to Alabama and back (Michigan) just fine" retreads, on the front, good for them. hope they aren't on the same stretch of road as myself when they rip apart. I wont put the damned things on my car.

>>2060While this is true, there are a few things to note.
One, trucks ( I'm guessing you're talking about 18-wheelers ) aren't allowed to use Retreads on their steering wheels.
Two, those tires are designed with being re-capped in mind, the structure of the tire is engineered to handle it, but only so many times ( I'm not sure on the number, but there is a limit ).
Three, if any of the re-capped tires go, because of the rules they're nearly always dualies. So you've got an extra tire beside the one that let go to get the truck off the road safely.

Caps on the rear are ok and manageable in a blow out.
Cleanskins on the steer.

the only case ive heard of in which these are widely used is on the tires for big rigs. id imagine thats because those are significantly more expensive.

In many places outside US, tires are not that cheap or you'll get crappy overpriced tires.
On the other hand, recapped tires for passenger cars are banned. My dad used them a few times when they were legal until one was disintegrated and damaged the quarter panel at highway speed.

I wouldnt trust a used tire, the fibre material doesn´t get stronger over time and may break if you are driving fast, also you aren´t allowed do drive at full speed anymore.
But seriously, why would you even think about such a stupid Idea?
