I would check out the Bangag website. Lots of truckers use tires that have been retreaded. Don't know if retreads are available in your size.


Y'mean Bandag, with a "d"?


I use to use retreads on my cor, but that was a long time ago.

I would NOT use retreads in the heat of California. The BEST tire for
the truck would be a Miclelin - but they would be worth as much as the


The worst tires I've ever driven on came on my 2007 Tundra. Michelins.
They wouldn't let my truck go up a 10% grade of wet grass.
These Bridgestone Dueler A/T REVO 2 tires are outstanding. Quiet,

Hakkapeliitta R2s on for the winter.


truck new. If you can buy "take offs" from someone upgrading a new
truck would be your best deal.Nokians (from Finland) are excellent
tires too - you might do OK with high end Hankooks. See a lot of them
on trucks lately - they used to be known for being very good at
putting "corners" on round tires, but seem to have improved.


I think my old '57 Chevy was the worst at squaring tires.
Thank Crom it has been a wee bit of time since then.
