Just keep in mind that the muds are loud. If you don't mind noise they work great, I have them on my DD.

I wouldn't run recaps on anything, they are a waste of money.

 

[bandit1]

the retreads look cheap enough to replace if i dont like them. why not run em all the way around? if yall have any better ideas throw em out here. /forums/images/graemlins/ears.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Nope, on my daily driver.

My tow rig keeps blowing out tires, and NONE of those have been retreads.

No the width is the 285 , the 75 means the sidewall is 75 percent of the width . So if you had a 285/70 it would be as wide , but shorter /forums/images/graemlins/k5.gif /forums/images/graemlins/k5.gif

They are junk on commercial vehicles (Semi) Sure they cost $100 less, but when they decide to go south, all that money you have saved, goes into body repairs, etc.
