Retreading is a vital component of fleet tire management, essential for minimizing costs and reducing landfill waste. At Sailun Tire Americas (STA), we fully support and promote the retreading of all our truck tire brands. Our tires come with a workmanship and material warranty of 6-8 years, and a retread warranty of 2-3 times, depending on the brand.
The STA Advantage – benefits of retreading
By Sailun Tire Americas
Our engineering team designs tires specifically with multiple retreads in mind, countering some opinions that value-tier tires are often discarded after one use. We optimize the under-tread and belt placement to ensure our tires meet the multiple retread guarantee, providing durability for extended tire life.
Retreadability should be a top priority for fleets when selecting a tire brand. Contrary to some belief that imported tires are unsuitable for retreading, the focus should be on the factory of origin rather than the country of origin. Our factories are among the newest and most technologically advanced in the world, ensuring high-quality casing construction.
Choosing the right brand should be based on the best value for the price and overall costper-mile performance, and STA brands are designed to meet these criteria. Our goal is to deliver Tier 1 performance at a price that maximizes value for fleet customers, with improved total life cycle costs through each retread.
The casing is the foundation of the tire and should always be designed to withstand multiple retreads throughout its service life. This is critical to achieving maximum ROI in any commercial tire program. Fleet managers should collaborate with their chosen manufacturer to understand the quality and construction methods of their tires, ensuring they perform, and retread as expected.
There are many high-quality products in the market today, built by different manufacturers, that are guaranteed to retread multiple times and deliver strong returns. It is important to note that a higher price does not necessarily equate to a better value proposition or enhanced retreadability.
Conduct thorough research to understand the manufacturer and their construction methods, ensuring you purchase tires that can be retreaded multiple times and are backed by the manufacturer.
