I don't recall seeing that stuff on anything around here.
Maybe on that rusty ass suburban I have that's from. Up north, but other than that, I haven't seen that here.

Worse than $100-125 for a whole new tire?
Yes unless your wore out tires are not that old.
Reasons it won't be an issue:
Your truck is not driven much (at all currently) on the highway, so no risk of blowing a tread off at highway speeds.
Reasons it is not cost effective or even possible:
Tires can't be more than 5-6 years old to get a retread. The tires are aged out, especially if they sit outside (UV damage), not on paved surfaces and aren't used regularly.
Just because a tire holds air, doesn't mean it's any good anymore. It's like re-soling a shoe that almost has a hole in the toe.
Now if the tire's you're proposing are less than 5 years old, it could be a viable option, but still not a clear financial savings.
There's other options that I just mentioned.

Its lichen, its just on my iron because of the hill, wind, trees, etc. Also elevation decides a lot, the weather is really beneficial to it. It just grows everywhere, with perfect conditions it grows more.
and most of my iron has been sitting where it is for 15 years or more lol
@Grit dog the tires i have are new at 180-200 a tire. the same tread on a retread is 80, but i only priced one place and tread design. so im sure it could be less.
I said that that if you had one in response to dry air, you wouldnt want to come up here lol. As in, youre body couldnt handle natural flora or weather

Taylor, have you considered mounting the plow to your tractor? With some fab and welding you may be able to do this with parts on site

Somebody has been spending too much time sunbathing in moldy cranberry bogs. 8 in the V, lichen in the bush, blown out immune system, tetnus in the wahzoo? It makes no ******* sense anymore! I'm thinking the LSD being talked about has nothing to do with the truck?
