I thought they're illegal on highways these days. Brakes abd Tires are the two things I would never go cheap on.

Biggest problems retreads ever had were throwing the tread off, leaking air between cap and casing, and balance issues (heavy spots.) With all the safey requirements for tires now, I wouldn't be scared to run a set. All those problems have already been previously addressed. I probably wouldn't recommend going out and making an LSR pass on a set though....just to be safe. :)

Easy answer...go for it! I would not be concerned about running a retread especially just for a winter. We used to put install them on a regular basis and didn't see any more problems than a new tire had.
