We consulted the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR) people, and they say nail hole repairs in steer tires are not prohibited by FMCSR regulations.

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.
