New Infographic from "Retread Tires in the U.S. and Canada" Report

A new infographic taken from “Retread Tires in the U.S. and Canada,” a report developed in partnership with researchers from Duke University, East Carolina University, North Carolina State University and the University of Michigan has been released.

The report addresses a number of misconceptions about retreads, including:

Myth #1: Hardly anyone uses retreads. The report found that up to 90% of large fleets in the U.S. and Canada use retreads.
Myth #2: Retreads aren’t reliable. Experts cited in the report concluded that a well-maintained retread tire offers equivalent reliability to a well-maintained new tire.
Myth #3: Retreads don’t impact fuel efficiency. Data cited in the report proves that many retreads have a lower rolling resistance, and thus superior fuel efficiency, to new tires.
Myth #4: Retreads aren’t an environmentally conscious option. The report offers data to support the environmental benefits of retreading, including how retreads divert 1.4 billion pounds of waste from landfills each year
