<![CDATA[Retreads for cars?]]>Boy oh boy. I just went out front and my drivers side front tire is completely flat on the grand marquis. I musta picked something up on the road. My question is, is there anywhere to get retreads for passenger cars here in fargo? My friends dad always had them on thier family cars so I know they are made, I just don't know where to get them. If not, are there any good tire stores around that won't charge an arm to sell and mount a standard family car tire?

On a dual wheel like a semi, it wouldnt matter as much if one fails, but if the cap would seperate on a car that'd be bad.

I believe it is illegal to run ANY retread tire on ANY STEER axle on any weight vehicle (four wheelers to Kenworth)- kid safe, DOT approved. There are very few companies that offer retreads for pass car tires- your existing tire has to be able to be compatible with a retread- which I am sure it is NOT. No, the gov't does NOT use retreads on any pass car period. They spend $80 on hammers, why the fuck wouldn't they buy new tires?:icon_scratch:

IIRC anything under 5 tons can run retreads on all tires including steers, Ups uses retreads on 95% of their trucks. The goodyear here in Fargo used but doesn't do passenger car retreads anymore.

Brand new tread to OEM spec or better, prolly better than the 'cheap' new ones you can get. The government uses pretty much all retreads on their vehicles, I think it's a requirement actually, and they run thousands of miles on them through all weather. I'll take a look though at new ones just the same.

Just get a cheaper tire or buy a used one, that's my opinion at least. Depending on the size of the tire cheap ones run 30-40 bucks.
