Marangoni Retreading Systems has produced a new generation Ringtread, the BUS100, available for retreading city bus and intercity coach tires. The pattern features a 5% wider footprint to improve mileage and solid, sturdy shoulders to provide maximum durability if the retread hits a curb. Special interlock siping on the reinforced and stabilized tread blocks improves traction, ensures excellent road grip and regular tread wear, the company added. The tread’s special compounds for city use offer better rebound at low temperatures and reduced rolling resistance, allowing a longer tire life in extremely stressful conditions. These compounds also allow the tire to operate at lower working temperatures in conditions that cause overheating, ensuring reduced casing fatigue and longer life, Marangoni stated.
