Did you know: retreading is good for the environment. At Alert Tire Service, we support going green. That's why we're proud to reduce waste by retreading and recycling tires.
When a tire is no longer recyclable, we shred it down so it can be re-purposed for sidewalks, landscaping, and other projects that keep it out of the landfill and give it new use.
Experienced truck fleet managers know that retreaded tires can significantly reduce operating costs. By recycling the casing, it’s estimated that as many as 400,000 to 600,000 additional miles may be added to the life of a new truck tire.
According to the International Tire and Rubber Association, the trucking industry saves $2 billion each year using retread tires. The Tire Retread Information Bureau documented over 18.5 million retreaded tires were sold in North America in 2006. The majority of these were medium truck tires.
Because retreads cost as much as 50% less than new tires, they are widely used in many large scale operations such as trucking, busing and commercial truck service fleets. In the United States, more than nine out of every 10 fleet vehicles ride on retreads.
We’re one of the largest producers of retreads in Florida. Our retread plant is inspected annually by the National Tire Dealers and Retreaders Association, and we have received an “A” rating (the highest rating possible) every year for the past three decades.
It takes about 22 gallons of oil to produce one truck tire and just 7 gallons to retread the same tire. This means 15 gallons of oil are saved each time a truck tire is recycled and retreaded. According to the Tire Retread & Repair Information Bureau (TRIB), retreading conserves approximately 400 million gallons of oil annually in the United States and Canada.
It may be possible to retread your tires more than once depending on the tire condition and how much damage it accumulated. According to TRIB, steel radial truck tires used in long haul, high speed operations can usually be retreaded two or three times. Tires used in local service operations where they wear quickly, like on garbage haulers, may be eligible for retreading five or more times depending on their condition.
Alert Tire Service can save commercial truck fleets thousands of dollars per year. We specialize in medium truck tire retreading for tractor-trailers and commercial vehicles. In addition, our long-wearing retreads are backed with a limited warranty on materials and workmanship for the life of the tire. Contact us for more information on tire retreading today.
