Retread Heavy Truck Tires: Save Money And Go Green With TIRECRAFT

If you’re looking to reduce the costs of fleet tire care or move closer to your sustainability goals, consider investing in retread heavy truck tires in 2022-2023.

The retreading process, sometimes referred to as recapping or remolding, can save fleet managers thousands of dollars and reduce the amount of unwanted manufacturing emissions by metric tonnes.

Read on to learn more about how retread heavy truck tires can help you save money and go green, or contact your local TIRECRAFT to explore your options.

Why Retread Heavy Truck Tires Instead Of Buying New?

  • Retread heavy truck tires are safe—According to the Retread Performance Study, there is no discernible difference between the performance of brand-new and retread heavy truck tires, so you can reap all of the benefits without any risk.
  • Retread heavy truck tires are environmentally friendly—Retread heavy truck tires preserve roughly 90% of the material in spent tires and require much less energy to produce, making them an excellent choice for businesses with ambitious sustainability goals.

    In fact, during the Institute of Psychics’ (IOP) Earth and Environmental Science conference, researchers Qiang et al. (2020) described retreading as one of the best options for “saving rubber resources, saving energy and protecting the environment,” while also promoting “the reuse of waste resources” and reduction of “black pollution.”

  • Retread heavy truck tires are economical—Tire manufacturers report that retread heavy truck tires use only 20% of the material and energy required to produce new tires from scratch, and this is reflected in their price. Tires are one of the largest expenses for fleets, making retread heavy truck tires one of the best ways to save.
  • Retread heavy truck tires are used in all the top fleets—Nearly 80% of the world’s top airlines and off-road, heavy-duty fleet vehicles use retread tires today. When you’re ready to adopt the best practices used by Canada’s top fleets, our retread specialists are standing by to help.
