Why Retreads?
2-3 Retread Cycles
Get an average of 2 to 3 additional retread cycles from your premium casings, depending on application and conditions. This maximizes the return on your initial investment over the full lifecycle of the tire.
80% Fleet Usage
The majority of U.S. fleets utilize retreads on their drive and trailer axles. This widespread adoption is a testament to the proven value, reliability, and lifecycle performance of a modern retread program.
30-50% Cost Savings
By choosing retreads, your fleet can realize substantial savings of 30-50% compared to purchasing new tires, providing a significant competitive advantage in your operating budget.
50,000+ Miles
Each retread delivers certified performance and exceptional reliability, providing you with the peace of mind required to keep your business moving forward.
What Makes Our Retreads Different
We do not use low-grade or mixed-source casings. Every single casing is thoroughly inspected and chosen for retread integrity, ensuring optimal safety and long-term performance. We also partner with carefully selected international retreading partners in Malaysia and Singapore to provide a DOT-compliant process that includes inspection, buffing, bonding, and curing.
The quality of our retreads is only as good as the casings we use. That's why we exclusively source our premium casings from the most trusted names in the tire industry, guaranteeing a strong, reliable base for every retread.
Quality Casings We Source
Our Retreading Process:
Advanced Technology at Work
We utilize proven cold retread technology, trusted by fleets worldwide for its durability, safety, and consistent performance. Each tire goes through a rigorous multi-step process to ensure optimal quality and reliability.
1 / Initial Inspection
Every casing is thoroughly inspected for damage, wear, and structural integrity using advanced machine scanning and a rigorous multi-point inspection before entering the retread process.
4 / Tread Application
Pre-cured tread rubber is carefully applied using advanced bonding methods for a secure, uniform fit that ensures optimal performance.
2/ Buffing
The worn tread is removed using high-precision buffing equipment, creating a clean and even surface for optimal bonding.
5 / Curing Process
Tires undergo a cold curing process designed to ensure strong, long-lasting bonds between the casing and the new tread.
3 / Repair & Skiving
Any minor defects are expertly repaired, and the casing surface is meticulously prepared to enhance bonding with the new tread.
6 / Final Inspection & Testing
Each retreaded tire is inspected, pressure-tested, and balanced to meet or exceed U.S. DOT and international performance standards.
