Retread Carcass Questions..

Hey everybody.

About a month ago I posted a thread about tires.
After what I read here, and on other forums...
I decided to go with retreads.
The options they gave me for the carcasses are
BFG A/T casing or a Bridgestone Duelers
My Wrangler is mostly a DD. I mud her a few times. 5-6/year.

suggestions on the carcass choice???
Also....
Not sure wether i want to go with theOTR TreadWright, Inc. - Retread Tire, Green Diamond Tires
or the MT TreadWright, Inc. - Retread Tire, Green Diamond Tires
Help Please...

really doesn't matter, they will in the end have the same tread compound, and I believe they have the same side wall construction.

..............I think the side wall construction should be your main concern.

Re: Retread Carcass Questions..

I wouldn't sweat the difference in casings, just stress with them that you want all the casings to match.

I'd go with the OTR, the MT isn't available until May and will be the louder of the two on the road.

I've used this company before, as have others I know, with no problems. Good affordable option for tires.

I'd get their 35" tires but they say they don't recommend the 35" for road use.
