Just like any other tires in aviation. Recaps are no big deal
Re: Retread Tires on Military Planes
Getting a brand new, non-retreaded tire out of the warehouse is more of a surprise actually.
A retread tire is little different to getting an avionics box that's been repaired and checked at the workshop, or a hydraulic actuator that's just out of overhaul.

You still after click bait stories? It feels a bit sad. It’s Sh1t like this that drags a.net down, at least when it was a paid for subscription people had to invest money to make sure they could do this.
On a side note, I recently learned how you could make $1567/day without leaving home, the banks don’t want you to know this trick.

IIRC, and it's been a long time, but the T-38 had to have new tires every change. But that was almost 40 years ago, so my memory could be off. Fini flight at KRND 8/83.
If we weren't all crazy we'd all go insane!

Working with the tire distribution warehouse at Wright-Patt back in the '80s. Wasn't uncommon to send a L-188 belly compartment full of T-38 tires to AETC bases. Had to be careful how we loaded them, tires shifting inflight could keep the belly doors from opening.
