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.
