I would not recommend retreads - never met one I liked. Bandag is a major retreader; years ago I bought some, and they thumped because of the lump where the ends of the tread meet. IMO, new tires are a much better bargain, though a bit more expensive. I'm not familiar with High-tec; maybe they are better. Personally, I would only put recaps on a big rig so when you throw a tread, you have the redundancy of more tires on the same axle.
