RETREAD FACTS
Retreaded truck tires represent a savings of over $2 billion dollars annually
for truckers and trucking companies in North America.
For most fleets, tires represent the third largest item in their operating
budget, right after labor and fuel costs.
The lowest possible cost-per-mile is achieved with a good tire management
program that includes the use of quality retreads.
Retreads are the replacement tire of choice for most truckers. Of the 32.9
million replacement tires purchased by fleets in 2001, 17.1 million were
retreads and about 15.8 million were new replacement tires.
Retreads are not only cost effective, but they are also dependable, reliable
and safe. Retreads are used by truckers with scheduled delivery times,
small package delivery companies with guaranteed delivery times, on
commercial and military jets and by most school bus operators.
Retreads are also environmentally friendly. Tires are basically petrochemical
products. It takes 22 gallons of oil to manufacture one new truck tire. Most
of the oil is found in the casing, which is reused in the retreading process.
As a result, it takes only 7 gallons of oil to produce a retread.
Retreaders, like trucking companies, have experienced considerable
consolidation. Today, the most successful retreaders are those with the
highest quality products, delivering the best possible return on investment
to the fleets. Because of the competitive nature of the retreading industry,
truckers can expect to see continuous improvement in quality, durability and
reliability, as the major retread suppliers annually invest millions of dollars
in research and development.
