Weird tire wear on spread

Yes. I’ve been running the Goodyear G167 retreads from the Goodyear shop for years. The G167 was our tire of choice back in the day and after they discontinued it they used the pattern as a retread pattern because it was super popular. We just kept replacing them with the retreads to match for the last 30 years. No problems in this heat with them.

They have around 8 or 10 different patterns to choose from. Ribbed for steer and trailer or lugged for drives.

Buddy of mine used the Bridgestone/Bandag retreads from Southern Tire Mart for 35 years. He would have them retread his casings a few times with no issues. No problems at all with them. Texas heat didn’t hurt them.

 

If you notice they have 6 different widths listed. Thats because each casing will be be different width and height per manufacturer. (The build scale i mentioned earlier) The one you have next to the smoked one looks like a 190 mm. Measure it from edge to edge to be sure. Than get a replacement to match as close to that as you can.

Edit. The 210 should mean 210mm. Still measure to be sure.

 

Ok, same as bad bushings. I just had that problem last year. I should have remembered that. Tech at the Petro caught it while changing a tire, after I mentioned the one tire wearing funny.

 

Cool thing about these are Michelin will retread them with the exact tread as original when the time comes.

 

I rarely use a Michelin. I know they’re good, but seem to be the one tire that never matches height of others. Same size, but way off when compared, almost like they’re on a different scale or something.

 

Michelin and Bridgestone build on the large end of scale. Goodyear and others tend to build on the small end.

 

One way you can tell if built on the large end is how easy it airs up when mounted new. Michelin and Bridgestone rarely need a bead seating blaster. Just hook up air chuck and air up easy. All the other manufacturers need a Cheatah blast or two sometimes four. Lol!

 

It should be able to be recap if it has no nail hole repairs and has never ever been run low on air, when you buy a tire from some place bring a flash light with you and ck. for any repairs and if find any do not buy that cap, just keep looking thru the tires till you find a clean one with no repairs, side wall repairs are a do not buy that tire thing also!
