Cliffle Tire in Detroit used to do it many years ago and they worked fine. 
You could usually do it twice before a carcas was used up. It cost about $10

per tire. New Bluestreaks were $37.50!

The was a place in Anderson, SC called Diamond Back that did nice recaps for

dirt and asphalt about ten years ago. I can't find their number now.
