Last set of 8 I bought was 1350 with mounting, the place will take back a blowout up to 30% tread left, the retreader they use x-rays each casing before they cap. The tire shop has only had one come apart in 6 years.

I take my steers to Bandag and have them capped. I have had really good luck with them.

I quit with the caps after blowing 3 on our tanker. Buying stainless steel replacement parts gets expensive. The headaches from pieces of the tire belts piercing the wiring harnesses sucked too.
Only put them on the trucks that rarely leave the farm and have tough fenders.
I don't think I could ever bring myself to putting one on a steer.

Why would you put one on a steer? It's dangerous and illegal.

Only illegal on buses.

Ugh, you're wrong. It's illegal to have caps on any commercial vehicle. You need to go back and read the FMCSR.
-
When did that change? When I went for my last TIA cert a couple year ago it was still that way.

Nope you're wrong fmcsr 393.75 subpart d states bus only and if you read the whole regulation it never states that it is illegal to run on a commercial truck.

It seems you're correct on that. That goes against everything in the CMV hand book. Wow... Did they change the regs?
