Opinions on Bronco retreads or remoulds in general
Hangover:
Anybody fitted Bronco retreads especially the 'Grip Edge' tyre,thinking of fitting these all terrain tyres as i don't want to fork out again for Goodrich at about £100 each.
Cheers,
Kev

I have a set of grip edges fitted. Replaced my trac edges that were too small when I fitted the lift.
Off road they are pretty damn good.
On road they appear to be wearing quicker than I would expect and are a touch noiser than the trac edges probably due to a softer compond?
For the price I like them.

remoulds used to have a bad reputation, and some people still wont use remoulds.
make sure you check the speed rating as well. afaik, its illegal to use a tyre of lower speed rating than your vehicle is capable of. (except in emergencies, ie space saver spares)
personally i'll be buying remoulds when i next need tyres

Thanks for asking. MY OPINION , I would nt touch a Bronco tyre with a barge pole, due to personal expierience and on going legal action.

I would not put a remoulded tyre on a vehicle that weighs around 2 tons !
They are ok for offroad use and town cars .
Most are not rated for the higher speeds of some 4x4s and can overheat and peel !! :shock:
I have seen several range rovers with cheap retreads on with kids in the back !
Strange that these folk can afford to run a V8 yet wont spend out for proper tyres.
Just my oppinion though. :)
