If a virgin tire were fail in a manner to leave a strip of tread on the highway wouldn't the wheel it was on only have the sidewalls left? I have never seen a flat tire that was missing it's tread and only had the side walls left?
My math shows, based on these costs, that the cost of virgin vs retread is less that 8 cents per mile?
