Post Treadwright M/T-G

Tires: http://treadwright.com/Tires-285_75R16_M_T_G-P106.aspx

I am considering making these my next set of tires and wanted to know if anyone had pictures of them on their yota.

The only real pictures i've found of them mounted on something is on a retarded isuzu forum which can be found here: http://forum.planetisuzoo.com/viewto...4eefaf0b2dd523

Any pics are highly appreciated. =] Thanks!

You can buy a MTG on an MTR carcass.

Yes, retreads. Formerly "Hi Tech Retreads" I think. Lots of people say all retreads will suffer tread separation or blowout due to defect, but I challenge you to find a first hand account (ie: my brother's gifriends dog's former owner's uncle) of a single instance of this.

i agree with Matt. I have searched all over the web and haven't found a single bad review on these tires. That isn't a rating that even new tires could hold. But really... no pics? Does anyone have these tires on a yota? lol

re treads get a bad rep from semi's they have been using recaps for a long time and you see there treads allover the highway but if you were to ever stop and look at any of them there is normaly some of the sidewalls still attached to the cap that points to running an under inflated tire rather than an falutly cap

x2...would you bother checking all 18 tire pressures when you know that on failing is really no big deal?

also, correct me if i'm wrong recapping the tire the way that semi's do it is different than this company. Their tires are completely revulcanized when the new tread is added.

There are differences between the tire tread slightly. I was just wondering if anyone had any pics and experience with these particular tires.
