WELL.......with my ongoing saga with the "bears toe nails" from that well known Rodeo company ,they have put me off of using remoulds ever again...................I have had a very BAD experience, yet tobe resolved...................

Whislt I'm sure remolds have their place there have been concerns recently about the quality of such tyres (yes, the tread part is great, but what about the carcass itself?). :-k
I run BFG MTs. I've done over forty thousand miles on one set and they still have more to give. Plenty more to give. Good on tarmac, good in the dirt. Yes, they're more expensive than a good remold but look how long they can last.
Will I get 60000 miles out of a remold? I've to see a set that will (without buying a lorry tyre!). :wink:
Interestingly, a lot of the larger logistics companies no longer buy remolds as they are considered a false economy, citing shorter life, greater failure rates, lower performance and higher fuel consumption (the big killer in the HGV game).
I'd run remolds on the racer, no doubt, because I'm not worried about tyre life (they're a conumable). But on my road car? No. First life every time.
Just my 2ds worths!
cheers
