Retreads should not be put on steering axles because of the strain the steering axle gets. On the other hand I service alot of Garbage Disposals that run retreads on front axle because they are not going long hauls. There is nothing wrong with running retreads, they are actually less often to come apart than a new tire. Retreads have a bad name because of the tire you see on the sides of the road but what most people don't know is that the retread did not fail the casing however did. If you see wire on the piece of rubber then that means the Recap held on the tire blew out. Most often caused by old casings improper tire inflation and multiple other reasons.
