Retread Strategy
Retreads can help fleets manage cost per mile when casings are protected, inspected, and matched to the right duty cycle. The value is not just the retread price; it is the full life of the casing.
Where Retreads Often Fit
Drive and trailer positions are common areas for retread consideration, depending on application, casing history, route, heat, speed, and supplier program quality.
What to Verify
- Casing age and repair history.
- Heat damage, sidewall damage, and prior run-flat condition.
- Application fit and axle position.
- Warranty, inspection, and documentation process.
