Casing

The casing (or carcass) is the structural body of the tyre, consisting of layers of fabric cord (ply) bonded together with rubber. In the commercial tyre industry, casings have significant value because they can be retreaded — a process that applies a new tread to a used casing. Casing management is a critical part of commercial tyre operations, with manufacturers offering credits for returned casings in good condition. TyreOps includes integrated casing tracking and credit management.
