Hmm, I use retreads for the simple fact there arn't too many decent tyres out there for 13" wheels.. and I'm upgrading as soon as I can..
the speed limit thing, I dunno.. I (accidently!) had my car upto somewhere off the speedo (stops at about 190). and they were fine, though that wasn't for very long and I really suggest not doing that, especially on public streets..
I had two bad experiences with retreads falling apart while driving (1st and 2nd day i got the car).. but it seems there are varied quality in retreads (from what i've experienced)..
However, I've also did handbrakeys/burnouts on one retread till it turned to metal, and limped to the tyre factory for a new tyre, ha.
I do a teensy bit of hard driving, which isn't that "hard" as I'm not much of a good driver (ask mic how slow I am..).. but they seem to hold out fine, I can feel the limit of them..
Ontop of all of that, if you can afford good tyres get them, ofcrouse, but if you can't well then, you can't.
Grant.
