We can retread all 6 of our wheels in about 10 minutes if we're working quickly, so it's never really a big deal.
Interesting. Our wheels were exactly the same size as yours, and we never needed to retread. In fact, we still have the same tread on, and it's just fine. We used the McMaster Blue Nitrile roughtop...

I'm wondering what the difference was between our setups, as they were surprisingly similar.
