Here's a link to the website... treadwright.com:badidea:THAT IS A NO NO ON FRONT TIRES JUST ASK ANY TRUCK DRIVER REAR TIRES MAYBE THE PROBLEM IS IF THAT RECAP DECIDES TO UNCAP ITSELF IT WILL BEAT THE FENDER TO DEATH YOU WILL NOT BE A HAPPY CAMPER RoadRunnerTR21 09-13-2009, 09:26 AM :badidea: X2! The damage inflicted when the cap comes apart can be tremendous. Diesel52 09-13-2009, 10:55 PM Some of the problems are if the tire was heated up that affects there ability to bond to the recap. Do you do short driveing or long distance, if the longer distance they then are a bad idea they don't heat up as much on short delivery type driving so don't seperated. Davediesel3 09-14-2009, 12:50 PM I have ran recaps on the rear for a year now and no problems, on the front there is no way I would EVER run recaps. I have traveled from Ohio to Nashville and had absolutly no issues. obnoxus 09-14-2009, 07:44 PM I like my hips to ever run recaps on the back,,,, they would destroy the plastic bed !!! bonescarolfi 09-14-2009, 08:04 PM A buddy of mine just bought a set of 285/75/16 bfg all terrains from that company and they seem alright with normal driving but pulling his trailer the truck was all over the road at interstate speeds. Its like the sidewalls flex too much. | ||
