Economics - Successful fleet managers know that retreaded tires significantly reduce operating costs. A new truck tire will
deliver up to 200,000 miles and by recycling the casing, as many as 600,000 additional miles may be added to the
life of the tire. Of course, mileage will vary based on the tire application and care.
Ecology - Retreaded tires contain 75 percent post consumer recycled materials, one of the highest percentages of
all recycled products. Since the casing already has undergone one life cycle, the only new material used to retread
a tire is the raw material used to manufacture the tread.*
