- The disposal of tires represent a significant burden on the environment. Tires can't go to landfills; they take up too much space and are not biodegradable. Companies like Marangoni, therefore, developed methods to recycle and reuse old tires. Watch how retreading machines make old tires usable again.

How Old Tires Are Retreaded So They Can Be Used Again - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
I wanted to see the technician apply the finishing touches :(
Lux Ferre That would be a Sticker Technician.
He’s not important!
*Ending credits*
Lux Ferre me too bro
That scene looked so flimsy. The techs tool was flopping around
the...plubis, and grumbo are shaved away.
“tire looks good and has no holes. time to send it to get buffed.” (staples holes to put tag on). lol
Literally the only part I wanna remember from that video. Made me laugh so hard
I knew I would find this comment.
Right on the bead too
Imagine if two little tiny pin pricks, that go 1/8" into the rubber, actually damaged it.
@@littlejackalo5326 I mean it could technically start tearing and cause damage but the tire is probably not going to live long enough for that to happen
There's a huge difference between retreaded tires done this way, as a manufacturing process using sophisticated equipment and methods, and the much more common, small-shop "rolled-on" retreads. The second type are the ones you see experiencing tread separation, because the tread is not a continuous ring, but rather a long strip that's cemented to a tire that's been inspected visually by a person. The process used by this factory basically produces a new tire. The process used by most small retreading shops often produces a dangerous product prone to tread separation.
Yes after rethreading of tubeless tires they will put interior tube? Do you think it is safe?
@@7ion7ion42who puts?
Looks like a great process. When I was just starting out, I couldn’t afford new tires, so I bought “retreads”. One “delaminated” at high speed (like a blowout) and I became afraid to drive anywhere over 40 mph. That’s when I learned to spend more for new tires at a reputable shop.
I never purchased Recaps. However I recently bought a trailer which had retreads all around. I had two blowouts on the highway in a single day. These were Michelin Recaps so I thought they would be good.
@@shadiahmad4848You had proper inflation? How fast were you going when they blew? Did the tire company provide warranty claims?
I work in a tire shop. Last week a retread exploded in my face when i inflated it. It ripped apart at around 2 bar. Unreliable trash, would blow up on the road if not in my face.
You put to much air. Hopefully you compensated them for the damage.
@@josenator1821 2 bar when the manufactuerer of the car put a 2.3 bar requirement for that specific tire size.
And also we inflate tries to 5 bar, used and retreads to 4 bar, before deflating. So they sit on the rim evenly. And that trash blew up half way. I have even inflated low profile tires to 8 bar oiled with wd40, if they didn't sit well on a rim. And the only time a tire exploded on me was this defected retread.
You clearly don't know what you're talking about.
Yeah you should see when 80 ton semi trucks have these come flying off. Not very safe. It isn’t just one occurrence either, you see several tire treads lying by the side of the road if you drive long enough. These coming flying off at 70 mph and smash up cars.
I got with it once on the highway and it broke my front splitter.
These things are shit
guess they got some more work to do

You’d be surprised. I still respond to my 2 year comments when they pop up on the windbox.
Rubber has a shelf life, nuff said.
This is why there is a 5 year limit on retreads. Anything with a dot code older than 5 years are scrapped.
This is true, but you can alter that shelf life by changing the proportions of synthetic vs natural rubber content. Granted, it's a proprietary science I can't go into detail without breaking a NDA, but let's just say rubber chemists are always altering the proportions of the base ingredients (plus new retarders and accelerants) to enhance the properties and lifetimes of new tires, ignoring advances in thread design
Your mom has a shelf life.
@@windowsxseven sadly, it's way too long
@@jjOnceAgain must be one hell of a shelf to support all that weight, too
Retreads are crap. Ask anyone in the trucking business. They just litter our highways. Never buy retreads, and trust me you wouldn’t want to be beside a semi when one of those blows.
Well don't new ones do that as well sometimes?
depends on your load and type of business. my old man's company handles road project in far rural areas and our landscape are mountainous, so retreading works just fine. those trucks are never going past 40km/h
You're right. The company puts the driver at risk for a profit and the truck owner puts the rest of us in danger because he's too cheap to do the right thing.
I have trailers for rent and I always buy brand new tires. I don’t care for used or retread. At the end of the day it is not worth loosing money or endangering people.
Retreads are deadly! I wish they were banned
Those tire pieces that you see laying on the highway that look like alligator heads? Those are retreads from tractor trailers.
the things that when you hit them they get stuck under your car and cause massive damage to your undercarriage... So to avoid that, people to swerve out of the lane to avoid them and strike another vehicle or cause a spin out - leading to a traffic jams, bodily injury, delays, job loss, death, and lots and lots of insurance deductible payments.
But yay - it's recycling kind of.
@Shuffle3956
No. They are cheaper.
Nevertheless I'd rather pay extra to have a tire that won't blow in my face...
@Genghis Khan i cant believe how stupid people like you can be
I thought they were banana peels.
Should be illegal
Rubber is like milk. It has an expiration date. It's a bad idea to re-use it. Plain and simple. They do it because it saves money (supposedly) but they shouldn't.
"They perform well too..." Yeah. Until one splits out and goes through your windshield at 90 mph.
@@fartpluswetone8077 the only thing good for the environment is walking, but it’s better for the environment than new tires because it takes less energy and raw material to create.
It conforms to all saftey standards.
But tbh this is mostly viable for larger tires, not the ones for a Prius, but the ones for tractors or JCBs, which cost upward 5k per tire and are a lot bigger.
So is this all the tires I see laying on the side of the highways? 😂
Yep 😂😂😂
A retraded tire works just like a new one. You can't notice any difference in performance or visually
sirnyjel You definitely can notice a difference between quality tyres and retreads
Recaps can be dangerous and probably do blow more often than non-recaps. But it really all comes down to proper tire maintenance that makes the difference.
Probably American quality. No such issues in EU
the problem isnt the tread but the sidewalls which go through huge stress in use. personally i wouldnt risk my life buying them.
How would you risk your life, you don't know anything about tyres
@@yuuki_32 It is quite rare for a tread to fall off a tire because they have been placed in an autoclave to heat under pressure. I work in a retreading company and we give a tire guarantee and hardly anyone returns the tires because of it, but again if the tread falls it usually depends on the manufacturer and the tire that will be retreading, but again if you are not sure there is another way of retreading where to put fresh rubber on the tire and put in a press that heats it and the molds squeeze it and so make a tread like in new tires, thats how we retread small tires, I don't know how it's done in america but here in europe a lot of people don't complain. Greetings from Bosnia and Herzegovina🇧🇦🇧🇦
I use these tires, but I don't not speed around on them local use only . are cheap and good enough for me for how little I drive anyway
@@hercegovac9999 you cant even spell tire right
@@hercegovac9999 Would you ride a motorcycle with a retreaded tyre? If they are so safe and are guaranteed. Could save a lot of money come Trackday.
Retreaded tires are dangerous, they come apart really easy. I'd rather spend the extra money on brand new tires. Old tires can he shredded and used for mulch
I don't think we know if the tyres we buy are retreaded. Does a reputed brand tell us if it's retreaded?
@@rohanshinde4327 yes we know, in many countries is illegal to sell retreated tires as brand new, so tires have written on them "retreated"
As a wise man once said:
I was brought to this world by a piece of broken rubber, I will not let a piece of used rubber take me away.
I’d never run retreads.
Why are people sleeping on this comment? This comment is gold
@@ryanjofre you mean they are not safe?
They have a tendency after awhile to break apart, which can cause you to lose control of your vehicle. Even if you don’t crash, all of that heavy rubber flapping around will certainly damage your car. Ever see big rings of tread left on the highway by a big rig? Nine times out of ten that’s a failed retread.
@@RAAM1946 may be if we use hot retreading could be safer!
I'd say the best purpose for retreads is for vehicles that are moving slowly, or if you just need tires that hold air to move around a project car or something. On a lot of farm tractors, tires get really expensive and I can see how a retread could be used on a slow farm tractors, but I wouldn't ever use it on a vehicle that goes over 20 mph
Do not, I repeat do not have this done to every day commuter tires. The heat alone compromises the durability of the tire. Re-threading won't fix that issue.
retreads havent been legal in the US for a long time, other than on semi trailer, and you see the results of those on the sides of the highway
Remolding is a better way of recycling tires right? 🤨
@@bradhaines3142 Bull Crap, They are only not allowed on the front. Many trucking companies use them. Goodyear also warrants their retreads the same as new.
@@JT-qf4it only allowed not on the front as in the steering tires or as in not the trailer? and they're not legal on passenger vehicles at all which is also shows how bad they are.
@@bradhaines3142 if that's the case, how do we have companies like TreadRight making light truck/SUV retread tires?
Don't the treads come off and wreak havoc?
Melody ya dey do
Yup, retreading is such a terrible idea
That's why if you're ever behind a semi when the tire blows you have to dodge the tread flying thru the air, and that's after you shit your pants because you think a bomb literally just went off. One of the loudest things I've ever heard lol
Talking from first hand experience, yes it's a terrible idea.

@@RandomVids519 I'd never run retreads, but I read a study a while ago where supposedly modern retreads have a similar failure rate to brand new tires

PS 400 yes in Canada wtf😂
As earth friendly as this is, I just don’t see myself ever putting a set of these tires on my car or any of my loved ones cars. Just too many stories about blowouts and sidewall failures on retreads, among other things.
Tires are what connect your vehicle to the road. There are plenty of other ways to save money when it comes to owning a vehicle (independent mechanics, (some-not all) aftermarket parts vs OEM, learning to work on own stuff etc).
This only really applies to commercial vehicle tires if this were happening on regular passenger car and truck tires there would be endless lawsuits.
My bumper also connects my car to the road. Is that an issue?
Whatever they use to make the threading stay in place suck a lot.
Whatever they did it to try and repair the imperfection sucks a lot too.
My father usually carve a new threading on a tire that is still thick enough, and what my father did is actually stronger than this shit
Unless you or your family daily drive a peterbuilt I think you'll be okay
@@panagiotisdrivas8011 how does that work?
This one's good for retreading! (Puts huge staples into the bead of the tire) 😂🤣
It’s interesting how the world focuses so much on vehicle safety, only for nonsense like this to basically ruin the entire point and cause a major accident once it blows out. 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Should only be legal for off road use🤷🏾
Mvp-AngelOfGod agreed
Harambe Jr. Yes but its good for the environment lol who cares about road safety if we can reduce emissions.... world going mad
Ohh the TH-cam experts commenting. They know everything and never fail.
These tires are perfectly safe though. Engineers don't come up with these processes as a gimmick, it's a long and difficult process for a method like this to actually come to market, meaning it is tried and true. Every major airline in the world uses retreaded tires.
This practice should be stopped many of those recaps tires end up failing and falling apart in the summer day. I myself almost got hit on the highway while driving
The truck driver was going too fast or the load was over the limit.
@Cuban this is a different process they add tread vs the tradition and more common is to use machines to cut more tread they dont add material this process does and is like new.
Re Up Have you been to Greece 🇬🇷 in the summer?
They're dangerous and should be illegal!

I can relate to the tire
Cause im always being spun around and used again no matter how wear out I am

It does look great and it seems like a good idea. But I've seen too many of these laying on the side of the road after they delaminated from the tire 🤷♂️
No🧢
@Matthew Hayslett
No they didn't, they were new tires that were just shitty.
Isn't it true that these tires sometimes explode or shred while driving? There was an inside edition story about this.
That’s why you see them on big trucks, where 1/18 tires blowing out won’t cause a crash, and on those off-road vehicles shown
steering tires are mandated in america to be brand new. all the rest can be retreads. since truckers usually own the truck but don't usually own the trailer, truck owners put brand new tires on their trucks usually and the trailers ALWAYS get retreads. it just doesn't make financial sense to spend way more money on brand new tires for trailers, especially when most trailers are not owned by the driver hauling them. the biggest PSA i can give you regarding trucker tires is STAY AWAY FROM THE TRAILER TIRES! truckers don't want you anywhere near them. they can explode outward with the force of a grenade and if you're behind them the retread can come off and go through your windshield and decapitate you. IT'S HAPPENED. truckers love it when you stay next to the truck doors, next to the middle of the trailer, far ahead, or far behind. these are places where we can see you best and prevent killing you in case of emergency.
@@DavidLinn GOOD ADVICE
@@squidinkRC it might wont cause a crash but having a heavy piece of rubber hit a car or a motorcyclist can cause a crash.
Treadwright, a tire manufacturer that sells remolds ( a little different from retreads ) has several reviews on TH-cam. I think I remember seeing one where a tire lasted less than a thousand miles, another that couldn't be balanced because the tire was not round. I was looking for some cheap tires and saw that Wal-mart sold them, I decided to check out reviews and that's what I saw on TH-cam.
Seems like A lot of money and energy compared to just buying a new tire.
Tryna reduce pollution
and gives more jobs
And put more people In Danger
And causes accidents.
@@AR-tl1cf lmao
I see the result's of retreads on the highways everyday!
Retreads work well, if they are done right, even new tyres blow out or treads come off.Some drivers dont look after the tyres... underinflate, overload....
U saw they put staples in the tire 😂
They’re normal staples, they stapled the rubber, definitely not deep enough to damage the the tire inside
A staple isn't going to do much to a tyre, it that was the case every tyre would burst/puncture at a sharp rock on the road.
Yea wtf was that about
@Paradoxical Nightmare obv the remove those with the signs!
I used to retread tires. The staples we used was a rubber - plastic type. And are melted in the autoclave. At the final inspection the staples that were not completely melted are removed with that tool you saw in the final scene.
It’s amazing to me how much mis-information there is around retreads. The failure rate between a new tire and a retread has a ratio 1:1. If you are not checking your air pressure in relation to the weight of the load hauled, then there will be failures new or retread.
PS, as of 2016, nearly 80% of all planes use retread or remold tires.
Yeah but afaik there's like a video that explains the differences between the two. Since they both serve different purposes? That's like comparing a nokia brick to a smartphone today.
Meanwhile the retreads are illegal on hazmat vehicles.
Ok but planes tires only touch the ground when taxiing or taking off/landing. The amount of use they get is minimal when out in comparison to a car.
I was thinking the same thing. This man is comparing apples and oranges here.
@@haydentakara4369 yeah but airplane tires takes the planes weight when landing at 150-170mph and that's not minimal compared to a car unless your car is jumping at 150mph
So impressed with this process. Need to try this out on a smaller scale
Such retro music playing in the background. Love it.
Well that was a completely fasinating video.🎥👍Despite retread tires having an unsafe record.
Thanks mr staple dood for putting holes in my tire before I even get it
I'll never tire or watching this. The video treads new ground in tire recycling.
This is so cool, and I'd love to learn who all worked on creating the machines, as well. Such a satisfying process to watch.
I want the source of the outro music
"Machines are taking over"
It'd be interesting to see exactly how well they perform against new.
They perform fine in the winter and are useless in the summer. Good for cold areas but don't buy if you're in a warmer zone. It will fail and can hurt someone
Never use it daily on your commute car. If you have big load and driving it slowly maybe it will perform well. But it very dangerous on high speed. The heat alone will blow the retreated rubber.
In fact are some old passenger sport tires that perform better that the new ones,they just need retread,those are the reinforced tires,i lie one tire especially that was made from 2006 to 2008,its still on the road.
Most retreads are just fine. You do see the tread coming off sometimes but far more often it's the entire casing that fails while the tread is still just fine. I live in an area that regularly hits triple digit temps 3-4 months out of the year. The heat isn't that big a deal. Not unless you're using some of the cheaper ones anyway... But truckers put exponentially more stress on retreads than any small vehicle ever could and most end up with no issues.
People will say they see them on the side of the road all the time but have they ever stopped to consider how many they actually see? Have they ever tried to compare that with how many trucks actually drive through that area on a daily basis? Doubt it.
From what I've seen with modern radial tires the carcass of the tire wears out at about the same rate as the tread so when one part is worn out the other is right behind it.
Long ago Hoosier Racing TIres used to do this using racing rubber on old tires to make racing tires for lower circle track classes.
This was very popular like in the 60s. Tire companies want to sell you more expensive tires. Not fix old ones. This should be more widespread.
I'd never buy retreads
ya they always fall off while driving
Sunny .what
Never say never
Andres Jimenez you already did and you don’t even know it.
Andres Jimenez also the rubber is dried up
In all my years I’ve never seen the use of a retread tyre end well. New tyres usually have the date of manufacturing on the side wall as over time the rubber breaks down and becomes brittle. You’ll also find retreads will always have a short service life and as many here have mentioned and I’ve seen the tread will often separate from the carcass of the tyre. Retreads really are economically unviable
In all my years I’ve never seen the use of a retread tyre end badly, guess that’s because aircraft tyre remanufactures know how to do it right.....
Rubber does not get brittle. Honest to god........
@@frequentlycynical642 Exposure of the rubber to light and air induces chemical changes in the polyisoprene over time . It looses its ability to stretch and becomes hard and brittle. You see evidence of this all the time in old tires; cracks will form in the tread and on the sidewall. Tires have a protective resin embedded into them, but that can fade and no longer protect the tires properly. This is especially true when the tire is exposed to long periods of inactivity. The longer a vehicle sits unused, the more likely dry rot will develop.
@@jatoxo Extreme situations. And tires sure as hell don't rot. Wet or dry.
@@frequentlycynical642 Tire "rot" is not actually rot, but just a colloquial term that describes the breaking down of the rubber over time due to natural processes.
This answers all the questions I was thinking of all these years.
Thank you for sharing this~!
Very informative, thanks for this information I never knew how Tyrese are made and how rubber is harvest.
Remolding is a better way to recycle tires "SAFELY"
You can’t after it process like that . It just done
This is not how we do it in Zimbabwe. We get a a tyre and a hot iron rod to dig up and retrace worn out treads. This dangerous system has killed many innocent lives on the roads. These kind of tyres burst all the time when that now thin rubber hits the road on any given hot summer days. The authorities turn a blind eye to this.
Your method in Zimbabwe is also dangerous. The sidewalks can’t be etched into any further. People need to understand that once a tire has its tread worn down, buy new tires.
I had a front tire with funny treads on it once. I brought the truck to the garage and they showed me how somebody had used a knife to re-carve new treads into the tire. At one point the person actually dug into the steel belts so I called my boss and had two new front tires put on. Tires need to be inspected. Used tires get shipped from North America to Africa all the time, be sure to look them over very carefully and replace them before the belts show.
I remember all the retread shops I saw as a kid during the mid seventies to mid 80's. Ahh. The good old days.
You won't care how environmentally friendly the retread was to make when it flies into your windshield, or when you slip on one of them and crash. Stop misleading people by saying they "perform better".
Ahh.. Retreads! Wonderful idea. I love driving down the motorways and seeing strips of tyre treads along the hard shoulder! 👍
These thing always explode on semi trucks on the interstate. Nothing like having your brand new cars windshield smashed by flying rubber chunks.
your windshield only gets smashed because you're following too closely.
Insurance ftw
Drivers not checking tire pressure and running while at low pressure will cause enough heat to make any tire brand new or retreads to come apart.When was the last time you checked the tire pressure on your car tires? I did this morning.

Only twice?
When I was 17, back in the mid-1960s, my buddy's dad ran the latest technology recapping machine at a local tire store. It applies a hot strip of rubber in about1 inch widths back and fourth like stringing a YoYo. He guided it as needed. When enough rubber was applied, a clamshell-type of a metal case enclosed around the tire and heated it together to bond. I tire at a time all day long! The results were far more reliable than the standard technique. WARNING, VERY SAD PART! YOU MAY WANT TO SKIP IT. Not too long after, maybe 18 months later, my amazing buddy was killed in Viet Nam. Father and son were planning on opening their own tire store when Doug was out of the Army. Damn that war and the politicians that allowed it to go on for so long.
...Hearing about someone dying in the Viet Nam war isn't going to affect the day of most people in the comment section. Just saying.
Sorry about your buddy.
IN MALAYSIA, RETREADED TIRES WERE ONLY SOLD IN THE 1980'S, NOW ALL RETREADED TIRES ARE NO LONGER FOR SALE. PEOPLE HAVE TO BUY NEW TIRES AT AN EXPENSIVE PRICE.
I used to buy them for ten dollars a tire mounted in the seventies. I did not have any issues luckily. All I could afford as a kid...
Sounds like a lot of work, hopefully they have good margins.
making a new tyre is significantly more work which requires a lot of resources and energy. This kind of "helps the environment" by some degree, although we are still destroying it at an enormous pace, even by doing these kinds of "environmentally friendly" things.
I doubt they do this for normal passenger tires, only more expensive high load tires meant for things like semis.
@@Excalibur2 although percentage wise it is less common, retreading is also done for passenger car tyres, at least here in Europe. However, that's mostly a product for tight-budget-oriented buyers as the performance characteristics of those are mostly not on par with the OEM tyres. However, for some motorists these make a ton of sense.
Retreads are the worst thing you can have.
Gotta say that those were some sick beats
Ain't nuttin new here. I bought tires in the 1970's drove'em to slick carried them to a tire store in town. They sent tires off an I got them back in a few days. Drove these on my Ford with a 302, did burn outs at track and never lost a retread or had once come apart. also drove a few times to Florida on them. Did them twice, never no worries.
I'd like to see them do that more and also make tires half the price.

retreaded tires are extremely dangerous and should never be used. everytime you see a truck on the side of the highway with an exploded tire, it's almost always a retreaded tire that has exploded, for cars and especially motorcyclist, getting hit by one can mean death.
@@KujezZi Regrovable is different from retreading a tire isn't??
The process of retreading tires has been around for a long time and has since come a long way and today they are just as safe as but far cheaper than a new tire. When you see blown out semi tires on the side of the road it almost always result of being under inflated. Thats why manufactures are coming out with tire pressure inflation systems to help minimize instances of tire failure due to under inflation.
@@rockraphlegal Yes, re-grove is intended from first production, to take a large tire, wear it down, re cut for a smaller diameter. That is much safer than retreading.
There is no way I will ever use retreaded tires, I do not care how cheap they are.
@@rockraphlegal in answer to your question when a tire is marked as regroovable it means that the manhfacturer has left enough material so that when you have 2/32 of tread remaining you can cut in using a special iron another 4/32 of tread and still leave 3/32 of material between the bottom of the groove and the top of the belts. However these days because retreads are much safer than previously regrooving is not a standard practice because your much less likely to be able to save the original casing because not enough material remains for them to grind down like shown in the video before they get into the belts of the tire. Manufacturers still mark them as "regroovable" because if the material is there beneath the tread the DOT requires the marking even though retreading is the prefered practice for fleet owners these days.

Yes this is where road Gators come from ! 🕺💃🔥
My dad told me Southeast Asia used to to retread truck tires back in the days before I was born. Due to many of them have defect and causing accidents. The government decided to ban all retread tires on the road. Interesting enough to see tire retread still exist.
Great work buddy 👍👍
Retreading is a deadly practice. Most blowouts on the highway are from retreading. These blowouts cause thousands of death per year. Now do a video about exactly how many crashes and deaths are caused by this dangerous practice.
HEY all the people saying these are dangerous ENOUGH! ANY UNDERINFLATED TIRE WILL KILL.,NEW OR RETREADS.Under inflation leads to the innerliner (the part that actually hold the air in the tire)to come apart so it won't hold air anymore and you either have to keep adding air or the heat generated by driving on almost flats cause the tire to come apart.Worked in tire shops many years and on all warranty claims it was dismount tire from wheel and inspect inner liner. 90percent were "run flats".Not in the biz anymore but I still check my tire pressures once a week.When was the last time you checked yours?I mean it's only your and your families lives your gambling with!
Under-inflation causes most blowouts.
let me clarify I mean the actual shred that was glued onto the previously old tire comes off and causes an accident. Not a blowout exactly.... More like a catastrophic failure because of this practice.
@@bobtoler5322 people arent as stupid as you not to check their ture pressure.
This seems viable only for big, special tires...
Yup, already very dangerous on trucks, would be suicidal on passenger vehicles.
Exactly, construction tires etc etc.
On top of that, only really good for tires that get a lot of miles fast. Otherwise if it's just old the tire could have dry rot, and retreading won't fix that.
I was worried that they were using old and maybe damaged rubber but it's good to see that they check for that
Thx! Amazing!

I read this title wrong...
I just got two of these tires put on a front of my truck. They seem to be pretty good there's no balancing issues they run like a new tire. But I'm a senior citizen and I hardly go over 45. Local driving only
Thank you. Marangoni for walking the talk
Retreating can be VERY dangerous. They often will fail.
Its can be but if they actually test the integrity of the tire before putting new tread on it it should be fine. Retreads get a bad reputation because the guy at the local tire shop is doing it in house and not checking the integrity of the tire. Better get used to seeing them any way. it wont be long before the big brands start doing it to save money and cut back on pollution.
Modern retreads (the process used in this video) are comparable to brand new tires as far as failure rate.
Retreating it isnt dangerous, using it is
Best practice from an Italian company: sometimes I can be proud of my country
Your country was one of the perpetrators of world war 2, killed Jesus and supported war lords in Somalia
peterk814 Does it mean that we are Godslayers?
Sorry bro but these tires are trash
peterk814 One of the perpetrators because you say so? Who are you to make black and white judgements like that?
God slayer in real life
Semi truck driver here. Retreaded tires are more likely to blowouts especially in high weight uses. In fact. On a semi truck it is ILLEGAL to use a retreaded tire on the front steering axel of the tractor. Theybare only allowes on the drive axels and the tandem (trailer) wheels.
Wow nice clip
3:48 lol that guy isn’t actually checking anything
he records the reading
yes he is, he is making sure it is still at temp bro
Machines are taking over!!! They are gonna rule the world and steal all of our pickles!!!
I have a secret stash of pickles no one will find. My pickles are safe.
wow good show thank you.. How many old tires they get and do in a day?
These recycled tires do be looking fresh
yaaa don't mention how retread tires are the most dangerous and should be illegal. But the US loves using JUNK to scrape by instead of using the correct setup. BAN RETREADS!!! 90% of the blown tires you see from semi's are retreads. Recycling is a good thing...for some things, NOT TIRES! There is a reason countries that take driving seriously have banned the use of them. cough, Germany, cough.
"... they perform better" Oh yeah! Boy, they stay right there and they NEVER separate!
Its time they outlaw the damn things. Sure, they're cheaper but they cost more in the long run.
For every one that flies off, it'll damage at least one car, plus the added expense of highway crews that have to pick up the mess. That doesn't even include the safety factor of traffic having to swerve around the debris.
If they can't come up with some better technology to make them safe, then get rid of them.
I once saw the tread on a car's front tire peel off like an orange on a highway. Luckily, I was able to steer out of the way of the incoming car.
Also reinforce inner wall with spray resin may ensure good safe for use
