Wink Recap Tires?

Has anyone, particularly Dually owners had THEIR virgin original size (23585R16E) tires recapped for use on the REAR?
We have a tire recapper right here in town that does big truck tires-I've had some good luck having 17.5 tires on an Isuzu box truck capped as well as low-profile 22.5s on a Freightliner FL-70 business class truck and was thinking about having 4 of my personally purchased and worn out/driven tires on my Dually capped and trying it out......
