Treadwright tires?

wint · Oct 20, 2011

Has anyone ran these? Ive heard of a few stories on them so far so good, but just like any tire there have been failures. So what are peoples thoughts, think they would work for me? Hauling, DD, some off road.

Whatever yo do make sure you get matching side walls. We got some of their 285 BFG A/T knock offs with Michelin shells & some with Cooper sidewalls & there has about a 1/2" difference height wise & 1/2" width difference. Sent em back & got matching sidewalls & good to go.

Hmm I would have never thought of that. Other than that they worked well? I was thinking of running their guard dog MT in either a 285 or 315.

What cat said, make sure you ask that your set of tires are made from the same "carcases".
I haven't heard anything negative about them yet, and was considering running them on my dually. The turn off for me is the load range on their 315's and fiberglass rear dually fenders. I don't need to deal with a D load range tire, or a tire destroying my flare.

They offer a E range tires in a 315 now I think? They had them listed i believe. (goes and looks) I stand corrected. https://www.treadwright.com/p-77-315-75r16-guard-dog-m-t-d.aspx

The set i have now is a D range. Wonder if id still be alright?

I ran a set of 285's about 3 years ago and they were great tires. My truck never came off of a trailer and i did some pretty heavy towing then. A buddy of mine actually still has them on his truck.

Good to hear that they will hold up on a heavier truck! I think im gonna pull the trigger on a set!

Post up your thoughts if you do.

wint · Oct 20, 2011

I will for sure. This will also be my first MT tire that i would run.

Wow, this is the first Treadwright thread I've seen that hasn't degraded into "recaps suck".

I've heard nothing but good things about the product and keep thinking I need to try a set. Maybe this spring.

Yea i am a little surprised myself thinking i would get that reaction. But no one can speak fully for them until you try them yourself! Which is what im gonna do! LOL

I believe my next set will be from treadwright. Let us know if you get a set and how you like them.

Yeah I've only heard good things about them and you definitely can't beat the price. I think people are just scared from older recaps that used to blow apart before they got the technology right.
