Many cost conscious drivers who care about safety are investing in economical retreads. Thanks to new technology, retreads offer safe, dependable performance. With proper maintenance and care they can give you about the same mileage as a new tire at much less expense.
Over 44 million retreaded tires are sold every year. They're currently in use on police cars, taxis, racing cars, school buses, industrial, federal and military vehicles. As high as 98% of the world's airlines use retreaded tires.
Retreaded tires can be driven at the same speeds- including freeway speeds -as new tires with no loss in safety or comfort.
Steel belted radials as well as non-steel belted radials are being retreaded, both in passenger and light truck tires.
Buying retreaded tires is the way thousands of motorists reduce their tire expenses.
The cost of a retreaded passenger tire will generally be 50 to 70 % of a new tire. Sophisticated tire buyers realize tht when the tread area of their tire is worn out, less than 30% of their original investment has been recovered. Retreading permits continued use of this tire investment.
Retreading is recycling. While it takes 7 gallons of crude oil to manufacture one new passenger tire, a retread requires only 2.5 gallons. The savings in truck tire retreading is even greater. Last year Americans saved about a quarter of a billion gallons of crude oil buy buying retreads. In today's oil-scarce economy, this saving is extremely important.
Because of retreading, millions of tires will be recycled this year.
So whether you are interested in economy or ecology (or both) retreading offers you a
proven, practical method of reducing your tire expenses.
Because of the state of the art in manufacturing retreads, a retreaded tire
generally will carry a more extensive warranty than a comparable new passenger tire.
Retreaded Tires are proven to be as safe and durable as comparable new tires.
We adhere to stringent industry standards at every step of the retreading process.
Tire strength tests sponsored by the American Retreaders Association dramatically
illustrate that a worn tire has approximately the same body strength as new tires.
