A flat tyre on the road is probably the oldest enemy of cars and trucks. Fortunately, good specialists can get your tyre back to like-new condition. Have you heard of tyre retreading? Here’s what it is and when it makes sense.
Retreading means applying a new tread to a used tyre. This process is cheaper than buying a new tyre and has a much smaller environmental footprint. Tyres can be retreaded multiple times; however, you should still check tyre pressure monthly, keep the vehicle in good technical condition, ensure even axle loading, and so on.
There are two retreading methods. One is the cold (pre-cure) process, and the other is mould-cure (hot) vulcanization. They differ in that mould-cure is performed in a mould where the tread pattern is formed during curing, whereas in the cold process a pre-vulcanized tread – with the pattern already formed – is bonded to the tyre casing.
Retreading cuts costs by extending tyre life. Qualified staff at TRELO’s service centre in Vilnius can perform this work. Save money and avoid splurging on new tyres, while still enjoying excellent quality and safety on the road.
Retreading used tyres in Vilnius, Belgium, Germany, and France
At TRELO service centres we retread tyres from various brands. Why choose retreading?
First, tyres are generally not recyclable, and in landfills they can persist for decades. Retreading helps reduce wastefulness and protect the environment. It’s also more cost-effective than buying new tyres because it extends service life.
Retreaded tyres are safe to use – their construction is designed to allow retreading. Before any work, the tyre casing is thoroughly inspected to confirm it’s suitable. The performance of retreaded tyres is comparable to that of new tyres and can sometimes even exceed it.
That said, if tyres have been in service for many years and retreaded several times already, professionals recommend considering new replacements.
