The A/T's look really nice. I hope this becomes a prominent trend, recycled tires that outperform old tires = win!

There are companies who "retread" tires. They have been around for a while. The OTR truck industry uses it quite a bit. Although, they are no longer "retreads", as the technology has allowed them to be much more better. They are truly remolded. This is very similar to how tires are made, they are just recycling the carcass and re-vulcanizing the tread cap to the carcass. It ain't your grandma's retread. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Another company to look at is HiTech retreads. Michael

It's the TSL/Bogger from Interco Tire They specialize in mud boggers. I kinda like the TrxUs tire though I could probably never afford them <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" />

Now if you want some major tread..... I shudder to think what this would do to one's gas mileage. As it stands now, I've still gone 200 miles on a half tank with my GY Wrangler MTRs; it used to be 230 or so, so I can't imagine what those puppies might do. If I get a set of the GDTs, I'll keep you guys updated about how they perform. I'd love to see a relatively small company like this get huge and give the big boys a run for their money. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

here is a link to another vendor of Green Diamond Tires - I have a set of the OTR Mud w/ spacer, in the 265/75/16 size, and they are great! I've wheeled them in Moab, etc. and they were awesome. I'd highly recommend them. http://www.high-tec-retreading.com/sizes.html
'96 rodeo, 3" lift with both calmini and DOR parts, 265/75/r16's on Eagle alloys, K&N drop-in filter and flowmaster exhaust, superwinch hubs, TJM Bullbar, and a custom (home-made) rear bumper, and still working on it...
