I guess even the airlines are running recaps....smh
About the only time you get "new" tires is with a brand new aircraft. LOL
Almost all of them.. And they can be costly.
I didn't know they actually ran them on commercial flights...I guess anything to safe money until one peels off and goes through an engine
Airlines have been running recaps since I have been working maintenance and that is over 28 years. Most of the time they are safe. I think a wheel can only be recapped a max of 3 times. After that they are usually recapped one more time and shipped overseas.
That's about what is for truck tires....three times then scrap....I was just surprised the FAA allowed it all on pax airline aircraft....money talks though and whenever you have the right lobbyist you can buy anything....to be fair though; recaps have come a long way and are getting better.
