Central Minnesota
I'm actually surprised at how many caps you see laying along side of the road. I'm waiting to hear of the motorcyclist that was driving, and a cap blew apart and hit and killed him. Just waiting to see how big that lawsuit will be. Between a freak accident like that, and all of the damage caps do when they do fly apart, makes virgin tires a lot cheaper than caps!

Been down that road years ago. Had a cap blow apart and tear up the back of a grain trailer, had another cap blow apart and tear up side fairings on a freightliner. That was the end of caps on both of them. Ill pay more for virgins. Cheaper in the long run, and I've never had tread on a cap outlast a virgin tire. Also now it seems caps start to weather crack so bad, you can see the cap starting to separate from the casing before the tread is bad enough to have to replace.
