There is not a "I have and they go thumpty thump down the road" option.

How much cheaper are they? I'm surprised that I haven't seen any colored tires on "Pally" yet.

Buddy used some of the green tires for a while, he had WAY to many episodes on the tires for me to ever entertain using them.

Riding on retreaded tires would be like having sex with a Tranny Pizza Delivery person in SLC

While none of us can ride like the pros, few of us change our tires after every ride. The fact that manufacturers can have problems with a BRAND NEW tires is THAT MUCH MORE reason not to go with a retread. While they may not be some "mom & pop" outfit, they certainly do not have the experience that Dunlop has, and unlike an 18 wheeler, if one of my tires fails, I'm in deep trouble.

There are enough variables I can't control when I ride; why add more?
