next time you are at the lights next to a semi have a look at the trailer tyres, where there is a tyre brand every letter ground off that is a time a tyre has been retreaded. so a Michelin tyre that reads "chelin" has been capped twice, to memory there is no maximum number of times a good case can be capped.


Hope this helps

Sure does help.... thanks.

I always wondered what that meant where letters were missing, now I know. :wink:[/b][/quote]

May also find it interesting to know that 747 tyres can be retreaded upto about 14 times 8O 8O

Just a bit of trivia

but i wouldn't run them at high speeds on the roads 8O


the tread pattern its self looks fine but my main concern would be the sidewalls just never know how old the original tyre was

if they are cheap enough go for it :lol: :lol:

Thats what I was thinking. $175 for a 32 10 R15 mongrel tyre with pretty much the same tread pattern as a simex et2. I wouldn't be trying a cross country trip to Perth with these tyres, just rippin it up round my joint for a bit of fun when it starts gettin really wet.

I'll give 'em a go and see. I'll post my thoughts in a few weeks when I've given 'em a good work out.

Cheers
