Bias?
editWhile I'm sure retreads are great and all, it is a little concerning that we have a set of video links all from the same site. Some third-party sourcing would be nice. GreenReaper (talk) 02:23, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
Retreads weren't limited to the Army during World War II. It was also the Navy and Marine Corps that brought retired and discharged officers and non-coms back to service, and it also happened during Korea and Vietnam. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rivermikerat (talk • contribs) 05:48, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
- I agree that these videos portray things from the retreading trade association, and I removed them and added solid book references and built the article up a bit.
Overall manufacturing cost and applications in passenger cars
editI currently have material cost data, but no information on overall cost. Can someone build on the cost comparison on overall manufacturing cost vs a new one? Cantaloupe2 (talk) 03:00, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
Safety
editSince failed retreads are sometimes seen littering highways in large chunks, a discussion of safety centered around motorists running into these things might be appropriate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.203.216.11 (talk) 15:59, 5 October 2013 (UTC)
