I think the basis of your point rests in the concept that the the retread lasts as long as a virgin tire. The failed retreads on the side of the highways would prove otherwise.

.... and following too close for conditions.... see? What do you do when it snows? Hopefully you slow down... but why? Because the likelihood of an incident increases. The same applies to saturated traffic... it ain't rocket science.

You just proved my point.
