What about the large single drive tires? Do they re-tread those? I've never gotten a straight answer on this, but I'd hate to see one of those treads blow, it's like 30-36" wide.
That would be like a sheet of steel and rubber coming at you.
Also, it's *technically* illegal to run re-treads on steer tires. FYI, to those that didn't know.
