My neighbor bought a set of retreads for his Yukon 3 years ago, and they still look great. Tire wear is normal as new tires, and he's driven to FL and back once a year since putting them on. He says that the technology has changed over the years, and that they are nothing like the crap they used to put out.
Has anyone here bought or looked at retreads for their DD vehicle?

Yes.
It's been a lot of years, but I've run BANDAG brand cold-cap process hundreds of thousands of miles on my Fleetwood Cadillac, our truck, and Mercedes-Benz diesel cars. Best wearing tire you'll ever find - even better mileage longevity than new Michelins. The BANDAG dealer charged me $35.00 ea. per cold-cap on my skins, that were either originally bought new Michelins or Sears best Roadhandlers.

What are your thoughts on them? Please, only comment if you have actual experience with them, I don't want this to turn out like all the oil threads.
