Retread Process
The retread process involves inspecting a used casing, buffing away the old tread, applying new rubber, and curing it under heat and pressure to bond the new tread to the casing. There are two main methods: hot retread (mould cure) and cold retread (pre-cure). Quality retreads must meet ECE Regulation 109 and perform comparably to new tyres.
