I have been thinking about these guys too. A guy working at a local VIP shop here says they hold up well. He said just be aware of what you might end up with. If you read their FAQ's you may have the potential if ordering 4 tires to have multiple sidewall brands?! You have to tell them you want all the same sidewall brand upon ordering! Think it is more of an issue if you are getting sizes larger than 31" tho. Also be aware that the tread pattern they throw on the tire will not match the sidewall. For example a BF Goodrich tire has a pretty defined and well known pattern, but their tread pattern in some instances is very different. Might look odd to see that "different' pattern on a BF Goodrich tire. If anyone has any other wear feedback etc. I would like to hear it too!

i have ran recaps before but in my experance they don't far well if you do alot of interstate driving. the heat generated by the costant high speeds of interstate travel will shorten the tire's life and in some cases make the caps seperate from the core. if your just crusin around town or roads at lets say 40-50 mph then i've had no problems. hope this helps

I have ran a set of Treadwrightds for over a year now, no complaints. Have about 10,000 on them and they are still about half tread

Taken them back and forth from UT to WY 6 times (about a 5hr drive) at 70 mph with no issues of excessive heat.
