Easier to reuse and will not clump from moisture, still have to be careful with mounting lube. Casings, Mostly I regroove my tires. I get another 4-5 32nds out of a casing. We get so many flats and other problems that make a casing unsaleable. Besides I get more value per 32 with regrooving on most tires. If I have a premium casing then maybe I resell it. My new tire guy gets me first time casings with caps for $210 a tire out the door when I want a cap. Not having any more failure with new caps than a first time casing. My biggest complaint on caps is balance. The wear rate on my caps seem to be better than my BFG drives. I have never had a tire failure that could be attributed to grooving. I can groove a tier in less than 20 minutes with my $45 iron, faster and easier with a high dollar Iron. Don't be cheap with the blades, if they seem dull change them.
