Sarge,

It depends on the state. I know from an article in Diesel Tech last year that at least in Utah you can run retreads on our light duty trucks.

But that's all I know about that.

Cool about the 37"s they are offering but at this point with so many HMMWV 37" surp tires out there that are less than a few years old with 98+% tread for 100 bucks or less it just doesn't make sense that this point. I prefer the USGI rubber even though they may be using the casings from these surp tires I just don't know. I wouldn't want to buy casings that were older than 5 years - it will take a while to wear them down - making them very old by their half life.

The other thing is soon we will be seeing the MT/R surp tires that are even newer and better all around for cheap - giving you the real original tread that the guard dog is copying.
