Retreads
Despite their poor history, I was wondering what people's recent experience was of retread tyres.
I understand they now have to conform to EU regulations and meet UK standards.
At less than half price of a new tyre: Colway or Enza are tempting to consider. They are both tubless radials and at least 6-10 ply I gather.
Enza (spanish) do a 235/85 R16 called Sahara which looks interesting. Unidirectional groove along the centre similar in theory to a dunlop desert. The tread on either side of this groove is similar in concept to a Michelin XS or Goodyear.
Colway offer a clone of the BFG Trac edge in the same size.
Anyone tried a retread recently?
