Anyone ever tried these? I've read a lot of reviews and only seen one failure thus far. The price is right and they seem to stand behind they're warranty too.:popcorn:

I know a guy at work that runs them and he has other brothers that run them on diesel p/us hauling hay on gooseneck trailers. Nothing but good to say about them. I will be trying them out next round of tires I need. They have very good reviews, and they have a hard time keeping up with demand. They supply many government agencies fleets tires. Just got to be patient and order ahead of time. Many times you can pick what casing you want them to use. That guy at work told them to use BFG A/T casings and they looked like the real deal. He had to tell me they were retreads from Treadwright or I would have never guessed. Of course once you know, you look harder and see the mold lines. He got over 40K on his and they were about 3/4 worn.

I also hear the customer service is outstanding.

Here's pics of his truck with the retreads:

I got em'. I love 'em. I had them mounted at Discount and the guys were confused when they looked at them. He couldnt figure out how I had BFG's with snow stud holes. Anyway, get them. You will not regret it.

It's a shame they don't make the 33x12.50 any more. I could upgrade to 16" rims and get some treadwright 315's and still save a few hundred $.

Just a sign of the times I guess. Sucks.

It amazes me how tires have gotten to be so expensive over the past few years. Money doesn't grow on trees, but the material to make tires does. What gives?

I have the 285/75/16 Gaurd dogs on my truck now and love them. The ride smooth very little road noise and balanced with vbery little weight for the size tire they are. I will be buying more when i need tires on the wifes Yukon.

My brother just bought set of 285075016 Back Bones for his Dodge and 31x10.5x15 Wardens for our Pop's Ford. Both sets ride smooth and he paid the same price for both as he would have for a set of new 285/75/16.
I'll get a set of 265/75/16 Claws for my K20 in a few months

BTW, they used to be HiTech Retread. We bought 6 sets of tires from them under that name with no issues at all.
