Why Should You Retread Your Tires?
Introduction
ď‚— Retreading along with other improved preventive
maintenance measures helps to cut down cost by recycling tyres, which are in good condition.
ď‚— A tyre is retreaded 1.5 times on an average, and can
easily go half a million miles or more.
ď‚— The overall tire cost can be reduced by almost 40%
by getting several retreads out of a single casing. ď‚— By retreading your tires you can save the
environment. You are saving a tyre from going into the landfill by retreading it. Not only that.
ď‚— Manufacturing new tyres can lead to a lot of carbon
emissions getting released into the atmosphere, polluting it. ď‚— You prevent new carbon emissions by getting your
old tyre retreaded.
ď‚— Another reason is that, a lot of oil is needed for
making new tyres. On the other hand, to make a tread for a retreading application you need only very less oil. ď‚— So you end up saving hundreds of millions of gallons
of oil or energy by retreading.
ď‚— More warranty is applied to the tire each time a tire
is retreaded. All the major retreaders offer some form of warranty on the tread and the casing. ď‚— That brings down the cost of possible failures,
provided the tire is well maintained.
 Retreaded tires are as good as new. They don’t
require any additional maintenance. Any wrong doing that would damage a new tire will spoil a retreaded tire as well.
ď‚— As is the case with new tires, you will have to verify
the inflation pressure. You will have to keep the pressure up, if you don’t want any damage on your new or retread tire.
