Man I'm sure that's normal in retreads. Maybe you give treadwright a call just to see what they say? I would

hopefully i wont have any other issues.

I wouldn't think a patched tire would be normal with retreads. Their website states that they use "gently used" tires. To me, that would logically preclude tires that have been patched.

I agree Philly. Plus I have considered treadwright and read where they brag how the carefully select the walls. How could the tread even be possible? Are you sure you can trust your shop? Maybe you picked nail up somewhere and they were just bs'n ya?? I don't know just seems odd. Let us know on results.

I know these guys and watched him the whole time. it had a tiny leak right beside a tread block. if it had been molded just a hair different i don't think it would have leaked. when he buffed the old patch out i actually saw some of the moisture from where we dunked it to find the leak ********* exactly in the middle of where the old patch was.

if i did hit something it didn't leave any trace on the tread and the old patch, as far as i could tell didn't have a puncture mark on it. I looked at it pretty good on the stretcher with a very bright light on it. and if i did hit something and it was exactly the center of the old patch i better go check that lottery ticket i bought that day.

Saturday i ran up on a curb while parking - on purpose - and my front passenger tire got a nice cut all the way around the outer tread block. my bumper had a nice little point sticking right out where it rubbed. i filed that off and plan to grind it some but i had no idea the 265's would rub. the tire is ok. i just wanted to update this to let people know it will rub when its compressed like that.

Wow. That shocks me. I'm already running 265's and I'm more than clear.

Just by looking it looks like it could never rub but think all the stars aligned, I was on a downgrade turned a little so more than normal weight was on that side. I do plan to add a leaf and crank my bars soon. That should help.

I figured instead of creating another thread I would use this as well. I ordered 265/75 R16 TreadWrite Guard Dog M/T's Today. I will let you know if I have any issues with mine when they arrive.

This is the specific tire I ordered: https://www.treadwright.com/p-62-265-75r16-guard-dog-m-t-d.aspx
