If they can do it for trucks then cars are less problematic.

The retread process on a truck tire is much different than simply cutting into the rubber for new deeper threads. Because of the price of a truck tire, they actually re-mould new rubber on top of the used carcasses.

Anyways, I would really think twice before getting old new tires older than 5 years old.

If you are replacing tires 5 years or older I will take them. Lets work something out!
