| Oil Savings With Retreads |
|
Tires are basically petrochemical products. It takes 22 gallons of oil to manufacture one new truck tire. Since most of that oil is found in the tire casing which is reused in the retreading process, only 7 gallons of oil are needed to retread that same tire. A fleet using as few as 100 tires a year can save 1500 gallons of oil annually, while substantially reducing the number of casings that end up in the landfills.
