The truck tyres you see on the side of the road are/were carrying about 5 ton per tyre, doing a few thousand k's a week a little more than the 250kg that a celica will put on them. Last time I looked, those semis had 18 or so wheels - cars have four. If one of your retreads delaminates, you're left with 3 tyres. I'm not aware of too many cars that retain directional stability with 3 tyres. gold28 wrote on Tue, 26 November 2002 12:15 2. If they weren't safe, you couldn't buy them. Ahem....scissors, knives? Also represents a "blame someone else" mentality when retreads delaminate. gold28 wrote on Tue, 26 November 2002 12:15 3. Most commercial airliners use retreads and if they are good enough for a couple of hundred million dollars worth of aircraft, then I am sure they are good enough for a couple of thousand dollars worth of aircraft. As above. gold28 wrote on Tue, 26 November 2002 12:15 4. If you need to drive like an idiot, then you need to prepare the car appropriatly, but if you plan on driving within the law, then retreads are acceptable. But those semis with delaminated tyres were behaving totally within the law weren't they? So in summary, retreads = shit. Are they good value for money? Depends on how much you value your life.
