The rubber retread is the renewal of the tread of the worn tire. Today, the developing tire technology allows the body of the tires to be retreaded several times. Of course, such a robust body has brought about a cost increase. The cost of a new tire is approximately 70% body and 30% tread. The improved retread technology reduces the cost per kilometer by renewing the tire at a cost of less than 50% compared to the new tire price.
In addition to reducing the cost of kilometers as described above, retread is a sector that makes a significant contribution to the economy and the environment. The tire is an oil based product. The retread sector, which uses less limited oil resources, also contributes to the economy. The retread also contributes to the preservation of the natural environment by keeping the non-self-destructive tire in use.
Is Tyre Retread Safe?
The importance given to consumer rights in the United States is known to all. In a letter to the President in 1993, the government ordered the use of retread tyre in official institutions. In addition, it is sufficient to indicate that the aircraft tires are covered on average 6 times and the take-off and landing 200 times with these tires to show how safe the retread tire is.
