Why choose our retreads?

  • Reduce your fleet’s cost/km
  • Part of a complete service offering
  • Similar performance levels to new tyres in terms of mileage, fuel consumption, wet grip and noise
  • Kinder to the environment

Retread tyres are developed in parallel with our new tyres, so you can be confident of the same high standards of design, construction and quality control.

Retreading processes

Moldcure retreading

Moldcure retreading uses heated tyre molds.

  • The tyre casing is buffed
  • A layer of uncured rubber is applied to the casing
  • The tyre is cured or vulcanized in a heated tyre mold at a temperature of around 150°C
  • The mold contains matrices that stamp the new tread pattern and sidewall on the tyre, giving the finished product the appearance of a new tyre.

All Goodyear Dunlop Retreading moldcure products are produced in-house and developed by the same engineering teams as our new tyres. This means that the same stringent quality requirements apply to retreaded tyres as to new tyres.

Environmental benefits

Retreading reduces your fleet’s ecological footprint and promotes long-term sustainability.

Fewer raw materials

Maximising the life of the tire casing means fewer natural resources are used by your fleet.

Lower energy consumption

The production of a moldcure retread tyre results in one third less green house gases and two-thirds less oil used compared to the production of a new truck tyre.

Reduced environmental impact

Using retread tyres results in fewer chemicals being employed and fewer tire casings to be disposed of.
