I wouldn't...
long haul rigs use retreads on the rear and on the trailer, hardly ever on the steering axle.
Tnen again they got 16 of them....1 or 2 blow out......no big deal...

You got four, one blows out or comes apart at hwy speed........That'll be one hell of a ride !!!!

I would not take that chance...
 
When I was driving truck (mid-80s), it was illegal to run retreads as your steer tires.
 
When I was young and poor in graduate school, I ran retreads on my VW Type II. They were fine, and never came apart. I wouldn't run them now, but then I'm not as young or as poor any more. I seem to remember they were less than half the price of a new tire.

Now if you plan to run them off-road with the extra side wall flex and increased hazards, it's probably a bad plan.
 
after shipping is not much less than getting tires at your local shop??? They want $80+$24 to ship for a 31x10.50x15... I can get a brand new tire an any shop down the street for that.
 
I heard airing them down to trail pressure will void the warranty.

I checked into them 6-7 years ago and the 37's where 6 weeks out
 
I believe the rigs that can not legally run retreads on the steering axle are those over 10K (or there abouts weight wise) and any multi passenger vehicle (bus) that requires the driver to have a CDL (usually 15+ passenger vehicles). In Oregon you can run retreads all around on a car/truck under the weight limit and not in commercial use...

I'd run them on a farm truck..but not on anything I was gonna air down or high speed on the highway..but that's just me..there are lots of relativity cheap"new" tires out there that can be bought and thrown on.
 
If you were wheeling only, and not going fast at all, the worst that could happen is that you'd lose one and it would go flat. I'm assuming that you'd use them for on road driving as well, though.

Even the one in the picture has a crappy looking glue job, so I'd stay away.

Yea i agree.....that really looks s***ty
 
The reviews that I have read from people that actually bought them were favorable. as long as you do not mind having multiple carcassas. The thread is good and holds up well but it is a crap shoot to whether you are goign to get all BFG sidewals or a mixture of different brands.

I like the idea, but I just bought new tires and they were not retreads...
 
thanks, thats kind of what I thought, but I thought I woudl ask, I think I'll just run BFG's for a litte more piece of mind..
 
Seems like an especially attractive option for a spare.
 
indeed
 
as an owner operator I have just as many virgin tires blow as first run retreads. I had retreads on all 4 corners of my Suburban with no problems. didn't even have to adjust the air pressure in the 10,000 miles I used them. I was running 265/75/16 green diamond retreads on Yokohama carcasses with an A/t design.

I ran them at 45 psi continuous and they are still 90% tread.

if you are going to run retreads then keep your tire pressure balanced and they should last a long time. I bought mine from Hi-tech.
