Are these retread tires?

Tell ur company to buy some new tires or they can pay to tow ur truck back to their yard after u walk away.... Do not drive on that ####...

 

What brand of tire is that ?

 

They look like retreads

 

Hard to tell if it’s a cap looking at the part that’s tore off. From what I can see of the good tire next to it, looks like it’s a cap. They cap them so good now, sometimes it’s hard to tell. Should be a stamped Bandag logo on sidewall near the tread if it’s a Bandag cap. Another sure tell sign is different names on the casings. I just saw a set of 8 Bandags all on Bridgestone casings. Had to look close to tell, they’re done so well. Still has a seam across the tread that’s noticeable and the Bandag name stamped on them. Need a sidewall picture of a good tire, at the tread.

 

That tire looks like it was rubbing against something. Or has alignment or suspension issues maybe.

 

Sure looks like the edge of a cap. You can see the shadow of the loose edge.

 

I worked for a company a while back that used them new double wide tires on their drives and trailers and something happened to one of my trailer tires that was just like that. Lost half the tread on 1 side. And yes, they were caps. From what I could tell the tread let loose where the 2 ends met, but only on 1 side. The rubber was still attached and flapping so it had to have just happened (of course just as I was coming into a chicken house).

Now then, for the OP: If that company is running caps on your steers, dont walk away. RUN away... They dont care if you live or die.

They aint worth the effort. Go to the yard, park the truck, and clean your #### out...

 

That is some good advice. Heat puts those caps on, and heat will #### sure take them apart too.

 

Refuses to compensate? Are you a company driver?

Drive to the nearest weigh station, tell them the truck needs a good going over, then call someone for a ride home.
