I bought my HRR216 new in 2014 and I've been quite satisfied with its
performance. My only real gripe is the ridiculously shallow tread on the
rear wheels. Perhaps it's not a problem for flat landscapes, but my front
yard is quite steep. Right out of the box I noticed the tendency for the
rear tires to spin while mowing _across_ the steepness. After 2 mowing
seasons the rear tires are completely slick, the front look barely worn.
I bought 2 new rear wheels today and the tread doesn't appear to even be
1/16 inch deep... PATHETIC !!
Rather than tossing my old slick wheels, I'm seriously considering trying
one of these 'retread' methods I found on youtube.
Has anyone tried either of these?
