Retreaded Tires
Posted by Bill from Atlanta, GA, US on July 26, 2007
I have been experiencing resistance when I try to encourage our fleet manager to purchase retreaded tires for our utility trucks. Any suggestions to help convince our Fleet Managers that retreads are safe and many times better than a new tire?
Retreads are used by thousands of fleets in many different vocations within the trucking industry. If a tire is retreaded properly, it provide very similar service to a new tire at a lower cost. Retreading is a form of recycling, certainly a good thing. The important issue is having retreading done by a good retreader who performs quality work and stands behind the finished product.
