retreads
I've searched this topic with very limited success both on yotatech and other. Has anyone had personal experience with retreads in the last 5-10 years? More specifically with: http://treadwright.com/
I really like this tire: http://treadwright.com/Tires-265_75R16_OTR_GD-P45.aspx
Has anyone had a bad experience? In Canada? Someone said that retreads on front tires are illegal in Canada, is that true?
Cheers

Are "Re-caps" the same as "re-treads"?
My grandpa ran re-caps on his van one time. They were decent tires but on a trip up I-5 One of them exploded after he put around 15k on them. I wouldn't buy them, but thats just me.

Thanks toy89yota, that's the kind of feedback I need. Personal experience. Do the muds grip well as Green Diamonds on hard-packed snow and ice? That's one of my concerns. I don't want a mud terrain unless it gets decent traction on the icy stuff. And by the sounds of it the Green Diamonds do.

Retreads are illegal as steer tires on tractors. Used a lot as drive tires. I've heard lots of scary stories about retread's for years. Was riding with my uncle once when one let loose. But I'm going to order a set of treadwrights as soon as last weeks overtime hits the bank. Like everything else the technology has come a long way. What sold me was the article posted on the treadwright site from the jeep guys off road aired down story and then a year later they still liked em. Cant beat the price.
