Tue, 26 November 2002 13:10 hey guys, I have work casually at beaurepairs for over 2 years now (still at school) So heres my opion on retreads. Firstly they are shit house. BUT sometimes can be alright. Here is a couple of my experiences with em. I was low on cash so i got some for me rolla once (14's) ran em into the ground, burnouts every 5 secs. lasted me fu*king ages. Not untill they were slicks did i notice that one had a huge sepo in it i had been wondering why it was vibrating abit at high speed So yeh severe heat from burnouts and high speed will make the seperate. Oh yeh i got my 140 rated ones up to 180 a couple of times, no probs. also I borrowed my bros 17's for the summernats, 2 tyres were balded so i didnt wanna get a fine. so i got retreads 205/45 it is now almost summernats again and they are on the back of my bros car (slicks, huge flat spots from hand brakies) but still going strong anyways to the point. I only get em if im am strapped for cash. They may last, they may not. Its really up to you if you wanna put yourself at risk to save a few $$$. If i were you i would get second handys, a little cheaper but alot safer!!!!! Oh and if a retread fails then you will usually get a new one for free (called a 'claim'). But yeh a blow out could cost you shit loads like toyrota said, could even cost you your life!!! [Updated on: Tue, 26 November 2002 13:16] [Report message to a moderator]
