Retread tyres / Recap tyres

What are the benefits of using retread or recap tyres?
Are recaps still used today?

PERFORMANCE AND COST

Retread or recap tyres are growing in popularity due to cost savings over buying new tyres and throwing (recycling/selling) the old casings. Recaps offer comparable performance at lower costs.

SAFETY

Retreaded tyres are made and tested to the same standards as new tyres.

Retread tyres are trusted by many commercial vehicle operators to get deliveries to their destinations safely.

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY

Recaps are proving to be more environmentally friendly than new tyres as the entire casing is re-used in the recapping process. This saves more than 50 litres of oil normally used in manufacturing a new tyre.

AVAILABILITY

Recaps are available for a large range of trucks and other delivery vehicles.

From receiving your casing, it takes 6 days to get your tyre recapped.

CONVENIENCE

Your tyres are inspected at the factory and repairs done before the tyres are recapped. You'll have peace of mind that your recapped tyres are safe and your deliveries etc. will be on time. How convenient!

PERFORMANCE

Retread tyres last as long as new tyres, there are countless clients who consistently achieve these results and they continue to recap their truck tyres due to all the factors listed on this page! The benefits speak for themselves.

WHO USES RETREADS?

Airlines use them the world over, the commercial aviation industry too.

Trucking fleets and overnight delivery vehicles, off-the-road, heavy duty vehicles and industrial vehicles use retreaded or recapped tyres.

ALL TYRE PATTERNS

Reteads are available with all types of tread patterns, long haul, regional, city/metro, on/off, light truck, please enquire about your best use tyre pattern.

WARRANTY

Retreaded tyres generally carry a warranty comparable to that of a new tyre.

Retread tyres use less oil

Estimated environmental savings? Studies show it takes more than 80 litres of oil to make a new tyre and 25 litres to make a retread.
Does this affect tyre performance? Under controlled usage, retreads can perform as well as new tyres.
