So who here does all of their own tire work?

I ran across, but havent tried....yet, the new Marangoni "Ring Tread" system which does away with the traditional wrap-around retreading.

The Ring-Tread is made / vulcanized in a one piece RING and is slid on from the side instead of wrapping around the carcass like traditional retreading.

No sensible person would argue that improper air pressure on a hot day is anything but sure death for a retread or even a virgin tire for that matter. The lazy O/O or company driver is always going to pay a price for neglecting their tires.

Ringtreads can fail but its very design eliminates the massive destruction of a 50+/- lb piece of reinforced rubber flapping at highway speeds.
