Retreading
When Free Service Tire sells a new medium truck tire, it wants to serve the customer beyond the life of the initial tread to the next tread and the one after that.
In recent years, Free Service Tire has emerged as a leader in retreading innovation and service. Therefore, Free Service Tire felt that the retreading program needed a separate identity to further enhance awareness within the trucking industry. Free Service Tire sought a name that describes their mission.
The Oliver Retreading System was chosen to help accomplish their mission to provide the best retread at the lowest cost per 32 as possible.
Your scrap pile probably hides tires that can be repaired, retreaded and returned for everyday service for many more miles. A Free Service Tire retread expert will search your scrap pile and help you put those tires (and your investment in them) back to work on your vehicles.
Retreads are not only cost effective, but they are also dependable, reliable and safe. Retreads are used in every industry today from small package delivery companies to airlines, as well as on most school buses, and by most government agencies.
Most truck fleet managers have found they can reduce their tire costs by at least 50 percent by retreading their casing at least twice.
Retread tires are also environmentally friendly. Tires are basically petrochemical products. It takes approximately 22 gallons of oil to manufacture one new truck tire. Most oil is found in the casing, which is reused, in the retreading process, as a result, it takes only 7 gallons of oil to produce a retread tire.
