Many things can influence the lifespan of a tyre, including smart driving habits and regular vehicle maintenance. However, as with any vehicle part, wear and tear eventually take a toll, and your tyres may no longer be fit for use.
While many transport operators simply replace their tyres and dispose of the old ones, retreading tyres instead can offer a range of benefits that can directly enhance your operations, improving the bottom line and overall efficiency.
Retreading a tyre, instead of disposing of it prematurely, returns it to service as if it were new, with the same performance and safety.
In fact, manufacturers of new tyres design them specifically to uphold extra tyre life, based on the prediction they will undergo retreading in the future.

Retreading is much more than transforming used tyres into reusable ones. The materials used for retreading tyres are scientifically developed to withstand the work and the conditions the tyre was designed for, making it 100% safe.
The retreading process involves cleaning, inspecting, buffing, skiving and repairing the tyre, followed by reinspection and cementing the tyre. It is then built and cured, followed by a final inspection. By extending the life of the tyre, the premature disposal of the casing is avoided, promoting sustainable practice and saving natural resources and energy.
Benefits of retreading your tyres:
- Retreading extends tyre life, which benefits the environment
- a retreaded tyre is as safe as a new one
- the performance is equal or higher than a new tyre.
