I have used them in a commercial truck tire (19.5) and had zero problems. But as pointed out earlier, you are not supposed to run retreads on the steering axle. Not a big deal on an 18 wheeler, but on a pickup truck it limits your options for rotating them!

I run caps on the front of my F-350...it's fine on anything smaller than 19.5's.

I've ALMOST RUN OVER lots of retreads laying in the highway but don't think I'd RUN THEM ON my truck.

I wouldn't. Not about to endanger the welfare of my DW, family or me trying to save a few bucks on tires.

Nope. Boss , 35 years ago, put them on commercial truck I was driving. 8 tires (retreads) went south in 2 weeks. Not worth it.
