New Tires by
Community Tire Retreading

Just got to see a set of new tires by Community Tire Retreading.�� They really look great and look well made from what I can tell.�� The tread pattern is very much like the Goodyear MT's with just a minor change as you can see in some of the photos.

The tire is a "remolded" tire and is a lot better built then the retread tires you normally see on the road.� This tire start out from a Goodyear MT's and are cleaned up and stripped down of the old tread and covered with new un-cured rubber and placed in the mold and cured like new tires.�� And after seeing how they are made and all that goes in to the remaking of the tires, I really feel they are a lot better then the standard retreads.� (I will talk more in detail about how this tire was made later).

The tires are well trued, and not a bit out of round unlike some others tires I have had.� So far they feel great even on the highway at 70 mph.

The tires are nice and clean, well finished. Instead of the Goodyear MT logo, they have HMMWV� UNICURE stamped on them.

The cost on the tires from what I was told would be about $180 each from Jim Lynch Hummer (800-HUMMER9), but please check with them on pricing.� The tires are great for off-road use, they meet all military specifications and they have over 500 of them now, in use.� And if you are looking for a good priced tire that will not kill bank account as bad as a single new Goodyear MT, this is a great option. DOT Testing has been done and pass the test, so yes they will/are DOT approved tires.

The following was from some of the literature that was about the HMMWV tires:
