    ^some people say to not buy them....but when I asked them why, they said the same thing...but when i asked them if theyve ran them.....they said no. so I havnt heard of any shredding. and if they do its cuz ur a retard for running them till theres no tread left..

    You see those "gators" (blowed out tires) laying on the interstate? That's what I'd be worried about driving 70mph @ 100 miles a day......but I'm not saying they won't hold up I'm just saying what if they didn't :hmm:

    Yeah I have seen a few recaps explode on 18 wheelers. Its loud and intense and if its the front have fun steering it off the road. It also has taken out the entire fender.

    And 18 wheelers DO NOT run re-caps on the front steering axle. They only use DOT virgin tires. That's the law.

    from all the reviews i read not one person had them blow out, the only complants i read were a few people getting very unbalanced ones, and when they called and talked to the company they sent them new one...for free and all the others praise how well they do and how long they last

    almost every review i read they were using them as there daily driver,

    recaps have come along way, and the main reason they will peel and blow is because of the trucking companys not keeping the trucks up to par and allow them to wear too far

    for the price and the good reviews i couldnt pass them up, and they do include a 2 year warranty that covers any defects
