    Regroove tires take the bald tire and cuts deeper grooves into it. Retread takes a bald tire and adds rubber creating a new tread surface. Now, if you prefer to not have either of those, that's fine, but they are completely different processes and I'm not even splitting phone books here. All...

    I would like to point out that regrooved tires are not the same as recapped or retread, and that section specifically only mentions regrooved. In my talks with tire salespeople I don't believe they can be impartial since their job is to sell me tires. This article states that retreads are ok...

    The prohibition on retreads on the steers only applies to busses. See the link in my previous post. I know some tire places that won't put retreads on the steer wheels, but that's their policy not the law. I'm sure other places will mount them. I am almost certainly using retreads for my...

    I don't like how they have a relatively small strip of rubber running down the center that is all smooth.

    You might look at recap or retread tires, they typically run about 1/3 the cost of new tires. Also look on ebay and the like for used, you can get 80% tread for pretty good prices and sometimes free shipping.

    Unlike a car, this truck is very forgiving to whatever wheel/tire combo you put on it - this is my opinion. You can pretty much put any tire on that will fit. If you still have the stock wheels (rims), I've even seen some people, here, put 395's on those. You can also change the wheel out...

    It depends on what kind of tires you want. There are really a few choices.
