Truck Tires

Truck Tires come in a plethora of different styles and can be made to order for any truck. Tires that are fully worn can be re-manufactured to replace the worn tread. This is known as retreading or recapping, a process of buffing away the worn tread and applying a new tread.

Retreading is economical for truck tires because the cost of replacing the tread is less than the price of a new tire. Retreading passenger tires is less economical. The reason is the cost of retreading is high compared to the price of a new cheap tire, but favorable compared to high-end brands.

During the retreading process, retread technicians must ensure the casing is in the best condition possible, in order to minimize the possibility of a casing failure. Casings with problems such as capped tread, tread separation, unrepairable cuts, corroded belts or sidewall damage, or any run-flat or skidded tires, will be rejected. Thus the need to keep your tires in the best possible condition at all times.
