Myths & Facts
Myth #1: Retreaded Tires are not Safe
Safety of retreads depends on two things: the quality of the casing and the quality of the retreading by the manufacturer. Our retreading uses advanced technology, equipment and comprehensive inspection techniques to ensure that only qualified casings are retreaded. Once qualified the casings are retreaded with the utmost seriousness.
Myth #2: Rubber Pieces on the road come from Retreaded Tires
The rubber pieces you often see on the side of the road are from both new and retreaded tires. Multiple studies from the United States have proven this. The rubber pieces are caused mainly by underinflation, overloading, and tire abuse.
Myth #3: Retreads wear out faster and cause more blowouts than new tires
Retreads will wear out similarly to new tires and blowouts are usually caused by lack of proper maintenance of the tire.
Myth #4: Retreads don’t perform as well as new tires
Did you know that more than 80% of all aircraft tires in use in the US are retreads? Fighter jets and school buses use them too! If retreads don’t perform well, then why would they be used every day across various industries?
Myth #5: Heat easily ruins retreads
Too much heat can ruin any tire whether new or retreaded. The main cause of heat damage is underinflation so proper maintenance of the tire is required.
Myth #6: Retreads are illegal
Retreads are legal in many countries including in Indonesia.
Myth #7: Retreads will end up costing you more
Retreads cost much less than new tires upfront because retreads are made using existing casings. But they also save in the long run, because the performance of our retreads are comparable to new tires meaning that you will receive similar mileage with a significantly lower cost.
