Performance & Reliability
An extensive range of application-specific treads that deliver performance & reliability comparable to that of a new tire.

Safety
Today’s sophisticated retreads are so reliable the largest trucking fleets, school buses and airlines rely on them every day. Our technicians inspect every tire thoroughly to ensure retreading suitability & best performance.

The Environmental Impact

Only 26 litres of oil are used to retread a medium truck tire while 83 litres of oil are used in the manufacture of a comparable new tire. The energy saved in each tire is enough to power an average home for more than a month!
