Retreading means replacing a Tyre’s worn tread with a new tread. It is perfect for fleets that want to cut their operating costs and environmental footprint.  Tyre retreading precure and hot molding for truck and passenger tires in addition to OTR.

• Retreading is a process of renewing the tread and the sidewall rubber to make it capable of reuse.
• The worn casing of a Tyre is taken off and put through a process of renewing and then vulcanizing the new rubber to its original casing.
• Many manufacturers build high-quality Tyres for performing perfectly in their first run, giving sufficient space for the second and even third runs.
• The retreading Tyre industry has been growing manifold with enhanced remanufacturing techniques making the reuse possible.
• The need for retreading occurs when the tread is down to 2-3 mm or regrooved earlier, or the tyre has had multiple punctures in the past.
• The revamped Tyres are environment-friendly, economical, and safe, and are used in several types of vehicles, including commercial and passenger.
• On the downside, the quality of re-treaded Tyres can never be better than the brand-new ones.

What is Retreading?

A retreaded tyre commences its life as a worn-out tyre. There is a need for retreading when you find out that the tread is down to 2-3 mm or if it has been re-grooved earlier, or if your tyre has punctures and needs a repair. In these cases, you need to take your tyre to an experienced technician who will check and inspect the tyre to see whether it is in a condition to get retreaded. If the expert finds it alright, then you can go for a retreading of your tyre.

Retreading is a process through which we can use your worn out tread tyre casings. In this method, a worn tread of a tire casing that has a good structural quality is taken off from service and put through a process in which it gets a completely renewed tread and sidewall rubber.

After that, the revamped Tyre is taken forward for a curing process in which the new rubber is vulcanized to the original casing and hence, the Tyre gets a newly made tread pattern.

Over the years, a lot of development has taken place in the tyre manufacturing industry across the world. High standard Tyres are being manufactured using premium technologies, so that they can perform flawlessly not only in their ‘first life’, but also in their second and even sometimes third life. So, along with that, the retreaded tyre industry is also growing, as stronger tyre casings, enhanced re-manufacturing techniques and high-quality rubber compounds are being used.

• Retreads are quite safe and are being used in all kinds of vehicles nowadays. May it be taxis or trucks, school buses or military vehicles, retreading is being used in all of them.

• Retreading is highly environmentally friendly. When the existing tyres are made ready for further use, the manufacturers save landfill space. Also, it reduces carbon dioxide emission and saves millions of gallons of oil which is required to manufacture new tyres. Therefore, when you get your old tyre retreaded instead of buying a new one, you play a major role in saving precious natural resources.

• Retreading allows tyre to perform the same as a new tyre adding extra mile to your tyre life. The casing can be reused, and new treads can be added twice or thrice depending on the condition of the tyre.
