RabidScott, that is a sad story. My luck has gone both ways on used tires. Be advised that before tires have the first mile on them, they are used. If I can find used, I'll buy brand-name tires with good tread and casings every time, given a choice. On my heavy road tractors I use recaps wherever I can - safely - and go at least 10% further on capped tires than I do on first-run. On my Stovebolt I am running remanufactured tires on all positions:
