Is it worth retreading a tyre?

[The Bigfella]

I had a bit of misadventure with a rear tyre the other day when I picked up a nail and the car went sideways a bit at 150kph (private road). I was wondering whether it was worth getting it retreaded - or should I just keep it as a spare?

Aircraft tyres are routinely retreaded... yet I still shy away from retreads - I can't justify it!

retreads in the US was a thing in the late 70's, not the norm anymore. with tires being as cheap as they are theres no reason anymore,

look up falken tires.
