Question:

What is the typical life span, i.e. miles one can get out of a recapped tire?

I am looking at purchasing some studded snow tires for use in snow and icy road conditions. The tires are recapped ( I assume this means retreads). Use of same, per year, would be about one or two weeks tops, as these conditions, while they do occur from time to time, are not prevalent, just annoying and hazzardous to one's health. For the rest of the year the tires would sit in covered storage. If known, what would one expect to pay for a 14 tire, each?

Answer:

yes it has slowed traffic for the people who know they are there (my street is very well traveled and the orange/yellow paint has long since faded) but i feel really bad for the few visitors who end up losing their mufflers doing 30 accidentally! lol
We don't have speed bumbs we have large dips. They work most of the time to keep traffic decent. I don't know about house value we've had them since I bought the house. No extra noise.
Those that accidental lose their mufflers by missing speed bumps can and should sue the city for the cost of repairs. If you have a speeding problem on a street, it needs to be better patrolled, not ruined with risers in the road which only damage suspension components.
It appears to be at least 5 times a day. In his favor I do have to admit I was impressed that he actually used the term Paulianity in one of his posts a while back - I was surprised he didn't consider it pejorative. Then again, maybe I shouldn't have been surprised
they are a great idea , there are so many kids that play in the street on bikes and skateboards. it stops the stoopid teenage rev heads from high speeds down our street and reduces the risk of the children getting hit by a car.
