Bigwheel OTR Reports 57-inch Retread Breakthrough

Big Wheel OTR is laying claim to being the world’s first retreader to successfully pre-cure retread 4000R57-sized OTR tyres.

“We take great pride in the appearance and quality of our pre-cured retread, because it speaks of the expert skill and infinite care we take in ensuring that these liners perform as promised,” declared managing director Albert Ngok.

BWOTR’s successful retreading of 4000R57-sized OTR tyre reflects the company’s determination to provide solutions to large OTR tyre shortage. To gauge the tyres performance, BWOTR enlisted the help of its Australian distributor Earthmover Tyres International.   

“Its common knowledge that OTR casings are hard to come by, thus this breakthrough was significant as an alternative to ease the scarcity. So far the tyres have gone to the largest open cut gold mine in the world with over 60 trucks in the mine site” Vince Schepis, Earthmover Tyres’ managing director explained.

In addition, BWOTR cooperates with each of its Thailand, Vietnam and Australian distributors’ in-house technical engineers to monitor and troubleshoot. It is value-added services like these that has distinguished BWOTR from the competition and fast gaining them a fan following.

“Retreading enables lowers raw material consumption, responsible resource management and reduces the cost of expensive waste disposal. End-users only need to ensure good tyre maintenance and a quality casing can be retread several times, greatly extending tyre life,” Albert concluded. (Tyres & Accessories/Staffordshire, U.K.)
