    Been running recaps as drives and on trailer. Have done so for several years now with no issue. It appeals to me being reused and they are also done locally.
    I can get new Chinese for the same money but can't get excited over that. Also don't think for my line of work to pay twice as much for a new branded tyre, I will get twice the life. Think I'm open to trying to extend 37K mile in 55 however.

    I have to buy new steers, by swapping side to side and spinning on the rim I get even wear till they are spent, still that only 60k as well.

    Centramatics greatly increase steer tire mileage. Not unusual to get 150,000 to 200,000 on steer tires.
