Wow, this is a heated discussion so I really should keep my fingers shut. But I after my father worked in the trucking industry (new and used sales) for years and I worked as a grunt at a shoddy retread company, I would really like to see an honest accounting of the impacts of semi re-treads. Probably not gonna happen since the Gov't is hopelessly inept and the unions have a lot of power. Maybe the NTSB or greenies could shed some light. I'm sure retreads have caused some fires (big concern in the SouthWest) and deaths or endangered some species like the long toothed snot bat or something equally trivial. Who knows how dangerous rubber alligators are to our highways.
