Quote from: lostagain on March 09, 2009, 06:30:23 PMI have gotten virgin take-offs from truckers for Cnd$100 each. (US$75). 11R22.5, 1 to 3 years old with 50 to 80% tread on them. Good name brands. That's how much they would get for a casing from the retreaders.Why would anyone replace a tire of that age if it had a minimum of 50% tread remaining?

forgot to mention one big thing about these tires.... they are not american.
... Sean likes the off road knobbies for getting in and out of DISASTERS and just for the showy looks. Can't have too much traction.
being assembled here does not make it an american product. ... where does the profit go? who designs them? where does the raw material come from? who owns the company? ( I drove the pres of michelin and his enterage.. many times in las vegas. big clue here ... he's french.)
however in most other areas bang for the buck most American products are stil A#1..
