Maximize Commercial Tire Life with Retread Service

Ed Vintner provides retread tires to commercial customers in Scranton, PA, Wilkes-Barre, PA, Clarks Summit, PA, and surrounding areas. When it comes to fleet operation, tires are one of the highest expenses. To cut costs and provide your drivers with quality tires, many businesses choose retreading.

Retread tires, also known as a recap tires, have been a trusted and environmentally friendly solution since the early 1900s.

Why Choose Retread Tires?

Here's why you should consider making retread tires a part of your business plan:

• Cost Effective: Retread tires are an affordable solution that can save on average as much as 30% - 50% when compared to buying new tires according to the Tire Retread & Repair Information Bureau (TRIB).
• Eco-Friendly: Retread tires are green; the retreading process uses less oil than new tires and allows you to extend the useful service life of your current tires, promoting resourcefulness.
• Safe: Retread tires are a practical solution that your truck drivers and equipment operators can rely on for like-new performance. The United States Department of Transportation requires certification for all retread tires.

The retread process involves taking your worn tire casing and replacing it with a new casing.

When's The Best Time for Retread Tires?

Timing is important for your tires to be eligible for retreading. TRIB advises against waiting for tires to reach the legal minimum on your vehicle if you are considering having the tires retreaded. The likelihood of permanent casing damage increases at this depth because there is less rubber to provide protection. If you follow a recommended tire maintenance schedule, then you should be able to retread at least twice before the tire is no longer eligible for recapping.
