Recaps or New Tires?
What would you suggest? Obviously, no recaps on steers. But, what brand and size tires would you recommend for the best mpg n comfort?

Don't buy recaps unless you like sitting on the side of the road waiting for the tire guy. just my opinion but i know a little about tires and have played the recap game.

Every daycab i come across has RECAPS on the rear. I plan on replacing all of them but I wanted to know how you professionals thought of them!

I'm with Rawze. Recaps should be illegal.

We ran them on company trailers, they blew out like there was no tomorrow. I would never put them on my tractor.
