Tyres are like anything else, you get what you pay for. You have to understand that you are getting a second hand tyre with a bit of new rubber on the face. The tyre walls are by now getting a bit softer, so handling is compromised and there is the possibility of the walls blistering.
When it all boils down to it, they are safe when used appropriatly, otherwise they wouldn't pass the quality standards. I have used them before and like you, my celica came with them when I bought them. I am not going to throw them away until they are stuffed, but I won't be doing laps of a racetrack either. When they wear out, I am putting new tyres on, but I don't plan on spending $500 just cos I don't like the retreads.
If I was you I woulg go for retreads, I have only had problems with 1 tyrewall blistering and the treads never peal. Just remember that they are not designed for a race track.
