Should I Use Second Hand Tyres

A retread is a formerly worn tyre which has gone through a remanufacturing operation specificly developed to prolong the life of a tyre

. When a tyre goes through this procedure it first goes through a safety inspection. The left over tread on the the tyre is buffed away and a new tread made of rubber is implemented to the casing using professional machinery through the application of heat, time and pressure. One factor that a retread may be cheaper than a new tyre is that the primary cost of developing a tyre is in the body or casing. Whereas the tread signifies a modest portion of the cost.

When your tyres are due for replacement and you're

considering of replacing them with retreads, here are some tips.

The number one issue with purchasing tyres should be safety. New tyres are usually best but are modern retreads efficient and safe.

With retreads being significantly cheaper than new tyres, there will be a safety difference but many buy them purely for the environmental aspect. They are the most environmentally friendly way of recycling tyres as one tyre can be retreaded up to ten times but is it worth more than the wellbeing of yourself or your loved ones.

Retreads are a worn tyre, with its tread replaced and are mainly earmarked for trailers and commercial vehicles, such as trucks. Some tyre suppliers don't even bother selling them for cars as retreads are generally considered a sub-standard alternative.

Retreads would have to adhere to selected safety criteria. They're usually limited to lower speeds (usually 140km/h). There have been independent assessments that have shown that retreads don't grasp as well as new tyres. Many professionals recommend steering clear of them in cars when it is quite quick to find relatively reasonably priced new tyres.

With most things in life, you simply get what you pay for. I think that the best thing to do and what I advise is going for a new set of tyres. Also keep in mind that if you are environmentally sensitive, various new tyres have lower rolling resistance for better fuel economy. Tyre choice can conserve you on fuel costs, which is what you need in an ever increasing market where it doesn't look like any time soon that fuel costs will drop. So you can do your bit for the environment and your wallet by buying carefully and investigating the brand and type of tyre you need. You may find it worth questioning your tyre shop that you would like to keep the old tyres out of landfill. As they might have recycling programs or know somewhere that does. There are pros and cons to both sides. We do know that irrespective of some studies money is saved by using retreads, more specifically, military, aviation, trucking fleets, postal services and emergency providers use retreads in their businesses
