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.

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.

This is true, but you can alter that shelf life by changing the proportions of synthetic vs natural rubber content.

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.

I doubt they do this for normal passenger tires, only more expensive high load tires meant for things like semis.

[@ignasb]

@@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.

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.

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.

[@m.s.1753]

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.

[@rabidhobo561]

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.

[@SteveRivett]

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.

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.

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.

[@Rot05]

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.

[@bobtoler5322]

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!

[@timtravasos2742]

Under-inflation causes most blowouts.

[@Rot05]

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.

"... 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.

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.

There is a reason countries that take driving seriously have banned the use of them. cough, Germany, cough.
