Retread Tires \ Semi Truck Drive, Trailer, and Steer Positions
A retread tire puts new tread on a casing that still has life in it, and the casing is most of what you paid for in a truck tire. S&S Tire builds Bandag precure retreads at two in-house plants for semi truck drive, trailer, and steer positions across Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, and West Virginia.
Key Takeaways:
- Quality casings can be retreaded more than once
- Studies find retreads as safe as new tires
- Every casing is inspected before it earns new tread
- Retreads stocked and installed at every commercial center
- Casing program returns your worn tires as retreads
How Does a Casing Program Lower the Cost of Retread Tires?
Scrapping a worn tire throws away the casing, which accounts for most of the cost and materials in a truck tire. An S&S casing program sends your worn casings to our plants for inspection and puts them back on your trucks as retreads instead of new purchases.
- Casing inspection: visual, electronic, and shearography testing flag hidden damage first
- Two in-house Bandag plants: no outside middleman between you and quality
- Position matching: steer, drive, and trailer treads for regional or long-haul duty
Why Buy Retread Tires from S&S Instead of a Distant Retreader?
S&S makes its own Bandag retreads and sells them through its own commercial centers, so the shop that pulls your casing works for the company that retreads it. We have served Southeast fleets for over 50 years, and we tell you when a casing should not be retreaded.
- Large inventory: 100,000+ units produced annually
- Every commercial center: buy and install retreads where you already service
- Precure Bandag process: treads bonded to casings under autoclave heat and pressure
Start a Retread Program for Your Fleet
Retreads pay off most when your casings come back to the same retreader every cycle. Tell us your fleet size and tire positions, and an S&S retread specialist will review your casings and build a retread plan around them.
