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 / Inspection & Testing
Each retreaded tire is inspected, pressure-tested, and balanced to meet or exceed U.S. DOT and international performance standards.
