sounds like he's not very good at the recapping business.
Owning 2 tire shops, making 400-500k a year, and having to only work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week while having a good bit of workers is bad at his business, sure I guess.
Being a dishonest salesman to sell you on something could also make him more money, but some people are just honest individuals that like to tell the truth. Maybe that is why he has so many customers for almost everything tire related.

is the gas station also located in your driveway or did you have to figure out how to load the car up with them & drive there?
Nah, but the second it comes in I can literally just spend 30 minutes of my day to bring it to any tire shop or walmart to mount for <$80 and save myself $400 from buying it in store.

Pacific Grove, CADespite what many drivers believe, test after test confirm it is as safe, if not safer, to put retreaded tires on your vehicle, according to industry representative Harvey Brodsky. "My wife drives on retreaded tires, I drive on retreaded tires, my children drive on retreaded tires," says Brodsky. "It is kind of like we are the Rodney Dangerfield of the tire business, we don't get 'no respect'."
DrivingFrom Brodsky's point of view, there is widespread misinformation about the durability and safety of retreaded tires and he is doing everything he can to see those ideas come to a screeching halt. "People may have heard their uncle Louis at Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner talking about how retreads came apart and were nothing but junk, but that just isn't true anymore," says the very straight-talking Brodsky from TRIB (The Tire Retread & Repair Information Bureau) in Pacific Grove, California.
It is true that as late as the 1970s, rubber from retreaded tires was known to rip away and leave chunks of tire or 'road alligators' laying on the highway—but times change and so has the retreaded tire, argues Brodsky. "The technology and improvements in terms of rubber chemistry are nothing short of amazing," says Brodsky. "There is a 1000 per cent improvement in retreaded tires."
If there are 'road alligators' littering the highways it is not from a failed retreaded tire, according to Brodsky. "The 'road alligators' you see on any given day in any climate, hot or cold, on any highway, anywhere, is coming from tires that have been improperly maintained and much of it comes from tires that have never, ever been in a retread factory."
"The real cause of tire failure is improperly inflated tires or nail punctures," adds Brodsky.

For all of CAD's bullshite in Amazon threads spouting off how all he cares about is "the best deal", he sure does look like a dumbass here.

If the president signed an order, it MUST be a great idea, right?

CAD probably buys someone else's underwear and socks because it was a good deal and they washed it before it was sold.

I have literally zero beliefs here, CAD. Came in because it seemed like an interesting topic I could learn about. You were convincing me on the first page. Got to the last few seeing guys in the business tear apart your decision. Just makes me laugh.

Most people do. Of course, life's just a big theory when they are younger.

I could take their word for it, or I could just look at the retreaded tire shrapnel that litters the interstate.

The only recaps I ever had were treadright MTs.
I spun the grips off on a moderate hill climb in moab. This was in a rig with under 120hp.
The gripped, slipped, I bounced, and then they turned into donuts.
Barely saved it.
Screw retread junk.

Tire Retread & Repair Information Bureau – Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Where does rubber on the road come from?
A. The rubber pieces you see on the road come from both new and retreaded tires. It is important to note that most of the rubber on the road comes from truck tires and is caused mainly by under inflation,
overloading, and tire abuse. See Rubber on the Road: Issues & Answers.
Q. Are retreaded tires really as safe as new tires?
A. Yes. Adjustment percentages of retreaded tires are about the same as with new tires. Statistics compiled by the U.S. Department of Transportation show that nearly all tires involved in any tire related accidents are under-inflated or bald. Properly maintained tires, whether new or retreaded, do not cause accidents.
Q. Do any standards (federal or industry) control the quality and safety of retreaded tires?
A. Yes. Passenger, light pick-up, and 4x4 tires are retreaded according to standards established by the
U.S. Department of Transportation and carry a code number (**) on the sidewall indicating where and
when the tire was retreaded.
I realize asking y'all to open a PDF from the .GOV is too much work when its more fun to pass on bad info.
