Difference between used and retread tires?
A used tire is a tire that has been used on a vehicle before. Retread tires are different in that they have been used before, but then they went through a process that extends their life. Retread tires are kind of like "refurbished" tires.
Are there any drawbacks to buying retread tires as opposed to new ones?
When the household budget will not allow the purchase of a new set of tires, looking into purchasing a used set of car tires is a good idea. The good news is that it is possible to buy good quality used tires if you simply know what to look for and what questions to ask. If you are in the market for used tires, focus on the tread, general condition, and cost for each tire in the set.
Are retread tires worth buying?
The decision of buying used or retread tires is ultimately up to you and only you. There are safety risks and the cost is reduced for this and less lifespan on the tire. If you are ok with the risk and reduced lifespan that is your judgement, however remember that you get what you pay for, and any injury or even death is going to cost you a lot more than a few bucks for tires.

Are retread tires permitted on steer axle of commercial vehicles?
That depends on what you mean by retread. You're either referring to recapped tires, or retreaded tires. Recapped tires have the old surface layer of rubber removed, and have a new layer added. Regrooved tires simply have the treads cut deeper.Recapped tires may be used on the steer axle of any vehicle except for a bus (CFR 49, Part 395.75, paragraph D).A regrooved tire with a load capacity in excess of 4,920 lbs., however, may not be used on the steer axle of any vehicle (CFR 49, Part 395.75, paragraph E).That being said, you'd be better advised not to use recaps on your steers.

Silica is the newer agent used to make tire rubber, but Carbon Black is still used in the production of retread tires with very good results in improving mileage per tire. Carbon Black and silica are reinforcing agents mixed into the ingredients of tire base materials, such as natural and manufactured rubbers, to improve the characteristics of tires.
