I liked 'em...
I ran these on the Dodge Ram Quad Cab 1/2 ton I had before Tigger. They performed very well for everything (off-road, hauling, towing, DD) with no problems. I wished I would have gotten the Kedge Grip though, as that would have helped a little in wet and icy conditions.

Please take my advice when I say don't buy them. I went through two in a month. One completely blew out. The other had the tread separate. I was using the guard dog in a 315/75r17. Needless to say, they will never see a dime more of my money.
Edit: they had great customer service, but as mentioned multiple times before in many different threads, the best customer service is the one you don't have to use.

Don't skimp on tires! Get you a good set and they will give you better wear and more importantly, piece of mind.

they are hit and miss.
I supposed it really boils down to what the original casing was, you could be running 4 different casings from different manufacturers.
I don't care how they pitch themselves as American Made, nice American "feel" website though but who knows where the casings originated from.
As mentioned, buy new and peace of mind.
read their FAQ's - this one alone would keep me from buying:
CAN I AIR THESE TIRES DOWN?
Airing the tires down will void any warranty

Tires are the number one thing to NOT skimp on in my book. Biggest safety item there is really, as its the only part of your Jeep connected to the ground.

Also if you take tire weight into consideration, Treadwrights are not the way to go. They're freakin heavy.

As I stated earlier in this thread, I have personally ran the guard dogs and had one completely blow out on me and then the warranty one they sent me had the tread lift off with only the sides holding it on. I can see one tire being a fluke, but a second tire? The stigma is warranted. I have tested out your stigma and proved it to be dead on. Buy new tires and don't go through what I went through.

I would agree with this. I would not feel safe running a cheap tire on the road after beating it up on the trail.

Let's just bypass the all too common devolution of thread discussion into who can manage to "shout the loudest" on here. Bottom line is that there is risk involved in everything. Do your homework. Try to avoid opinions devoid of facts or personal experience. Find as much objective info as you can. Individual experiences like mine or the others here aren't as useful because they're mostly single points of data, especially in this case when one really needs an adequate understanding of the probability (requiring much more data) of getting a full set of remolded tires as safe as brand new. If you're giving the brand a rigorous look, then you've got a lot of work ahead of you. Visit the treadwright web page and look not only at their technical information but also the company history: founded around 40 years ago; expanded manufacturing in 2014-2015. If their tires are inherently unsafe, then there should be a corresponding increase in negative information out there like lawsuits, bad press, etc. Try to find that kind of information too. Ask yourself how they're not only still in business, but apparently thriving.
It's perhaps a bit of parental instinct to advise others to do one thing or another. Be your own adult and think for yourself. It's very rewarding to make your own decisions backed up by your own hard-earned knowledge of not only the facts but also the uncertainties. Good luck!
I'll just leave this here.... This is my first blowout

That's funny. I can only attest to my personal experience running their tires. Maybe I am out of line and am the one fluke in their supposed "flawless" manufacturing process as Swinler would like everyone to think. I just find it hard to believe that these are as good of a tire as he is making it out to be when I received 2 bad tires.

I don't disagree with you at all. I think there may a reason I've never heard of them, lol. Sorry to hear you had issues with yours.

I would never run these or any other re-tread, re-cap, re-mold POS. I value the safety of my family and those around me. I have seen the treads fly off causing damage to drive vehicle and the car behind it, and drive vehicle almost loosing control when trying to get to the shoulder of the road. OP do yourself a favor and buy a quality made tire! Just my opinion.
