Over all I cant say I am unhappy with the miles I got out of the caps...
Over the last year they carried me, the BOSS, 3 horses in a 14K trailer to the Ozarks, two trips out to Colorado, moved 40 1200 round bales, and the BOSS had a guy dump 5 bucket loads of river rock in the bed once and hauled it 70 miles.... so they got worked, plus being my daily driver.

The reason I had bought caps in the first place was a fairly new tire seperated on me the same way, just got lucky with that one in that it was on the inner dual and didnt damage anything when it went,
so over-all they did alright I think.

you just have to make sure you use a reptable company when using retreads. They are fine

actually i got a set of 33x12.50x16.5 retreads not saying i'm proud of them but i got them for free....and you just have to keep an eye on the tire pressure and dont be a edit when you drive with them and you should be fine.....i dont haul anything with my truck other then some hay back and forth but i run them on the front and back and i haven't had a problem with them "knock on wood"
