Certain DOT rules say that. I'm not sure of the specifics. But it does not apply to our personal trucks.
What I found with Treadwrights is that they were not priced low enough to be an economical choice. By the time I had them shipped and pay someone to mount them, I could buy a brand new highway tire locally. They are much cheaper than BFG T/A KO, and I like the tread pattern. But if budget were the driving factor, you wouldn't be looking at the BFG anyway.

Price really wasn't a factor...not that I swin in a pool of cash or anything.
I really wanted to have a good experience with Treadwright and hoped to get tons of miles out of them to brag to naysayers....well that didn't happen.
I hope that others learn from my mistake whether its new or retread tires....
