Nice work. The treadwright site says the Backbones were designed specifically for offroad application, no mention about them being street friendly as well That would be another problem with retreads, they are basically one offs (well, 4 ofs) each time your order them. So a particular batch of compound maybe a bit different than another. I will post up some feedback after the Uwharrie trip. We will air em down to 15lbs for 3 days of wheeling, which in the VX is close to 1.5 tanks of usually. That should be enough mileage to get a feeling of how they are going to break in.
