Retreading is a way by which we could utilize the old tyres. In this process, a worn but structurally sound casing of a tyre is removed and provided with an entirely renewed sidewall rubber and tread. Post this, the new tyre is taken further for curing. It vulcanizes the rubber to its original casing and ultimately results in the tyre having a new tread pattern.

Past few years have seen tremendous development in the tyres manufacturing industry all across the globe. Tyres are being developed using the latest technologies, to enhance their performance. The retreading industry of cheap tyres Gosport is expanding with the use of improved techniques, a strong casing and good quality rubber compounds.
A tyre that is retreaded starts its life as a worn-out tyre. The requirement for retreading arises only when you notice that the tread has been re-grooved, reduced to 2-3 mm thickness or punctures, and needs repairs. In such cases, the car should be taken to experts to check if the tyres require retreading or not.
• Retreaded tyres, to be safe, are used in all types of cars.
• Retreaded tyres are environment-friendly, as they reduce the emission of carbon dioxide, along with saving the oil needed to manufacture Bridgestone tyres Gosport. Hence, upon getting old tyres retreaded in place of a new one, there is a major role being played in conserving the precious natural resources.
• Amongst the many economical benefits of retreaded tyres, they are low-cost in comparison to new tyres. This helps save a good sum of money. Old tyres can be retreaded at least twice or more, helping save up to 40% of the money each time. New tyres would end up costing almost double the price of a retreaded tyre.
• The process of retreading is not the cause of large scattered bits of rubber on the roads or highways. That happens due to failures such as tyre blasts, road hazards and overloading on both the new set of tyres as well as the retreaded ones.
• Retreaded tyres perform similarly as the new tyres, along with adding a few extra miles to the life of the tyre. The tyre casing could be reused and fresh treads could be added twice or even thrice, considering the condition of the tyre.
• Retreading of the tyres is less costly than new tyres. The rise of budget tyres has altered the scenario to a great extent. Budget tyres have gone on to become more valuable than the ones that are retreaded, as they are newly made and of better quality. Hence, in some cases, customers may prefer buying budget tyres to the retreaded ones.
• In case of retreaded tyres, a fresh lease of rubber is applied on the casing of a tyre, without replacing the infrastructural cords. This affects the quality of the tyres that are retreaded in comparison to new tyres. There are some issues always recorded with retreaded tyres.
