Looks a lot like the old MTR tires. The other option was the BFG KM2, but they would of been well over $1000 for this size.

I've heard of Treadwright before, many years ago. The fact that they are still around is a good sign to me. You can't beat the prices, even if they are retreads. Hopefully they last you, and you can get them to ride fine.

FWIW, most retreads go through a more vigorous inspection than New tires. Also, 90% of the tread you see laying on the road, are from New tires, not retreads. People have a bad misconception about retreads. I used to.
They are more round than most new tires are...

Tracking numbers say they will be here today! I kinda got ahead of myself and ordered them early, I'll probably still ride on what's on the truck for a couple more weeks.

I sent plenty of years as a mechanic, and alignment tech for a huge tire dealership. We/they also did Bandag retreads, and the process is high tech. But, there's no way on this planet, that I'd put a retread on the front of anything that myself, or my family would be in. 
Tho there really aren't illegal, I'm just not a fan.
That to me is an accident waiting to happen.

Everyone's got things they like/dislike and that's fine. I'm going to give them a shot if they don't work out oh well and I'll try something else.
