    I know most people get nervous about recaps but if the right place does it they will be fine. I run virgin tires on the steer axle only. The only problems I have had have been my fault.
    Might be a low cost option, just a thought especially if your tires were not very old they should get casing credit.

    ive run the r123 trailer tires. they are good for what they are. i had them on a flatbed so didnt get the best life out of them.. if you run them hard, as in like offroad or on the front axle on a spread, the tread likes to chip away

    I have had that thought since the tires are just at 1 year old. If I was close to home I would maybe just have these done that way and save them for later. But I am across the country so that. not a good idea.

    I run dry van and hardly ever go anywhere but interstate so should work well for my operation. I might go back to what is on the trailer Michelins.

    if they have a deal on some double coins. they are a decent brand as well. those were the only tires that could hold up to the abuse i put them thru.

    Will look at them tomorrow when I stop at a tire shop. Seen a place down the road from me that has great reviews. Git The Trucking Commercial Tires in Richmond VA
