Tires are one of the top expenditures for commercial fleet operators. A casing is still valuable and reusable even after all of the original tread is worn off. Retreading tires is one of the most effective ways to reduce and reuse tires. Not only will this save you money, it is the eco-friendly way to help the environment by using the tire casing multiple times after the original tread is worn off.
Tires are costly. By taking care of the tire casings, you can substantially reduce your tire budget. A Casing Asset Management Program treats each tire as a long-term investment and is a valuable part to a successful tire program. The tire tread represents about 40% of the overall tire and the remaining 60% is the casing and is still useful even after the tread is gone.
The return on investment (ROI) by taking care of the commercial tire casing has a dramatic affect on your bottom line. It costs about 30% to 50% of a new tire to retread a tire casing.
Two tire casings are worth one new tire!
Tire Casing Management should include proper air pressures, repairs, vehicle alignment and retreading. These items are key to help ensure maximum performance and extend the life of the casing.
