1. Retreads OUTPERFORM new tires.
All independent evaluations indicate that retreads outwear new tires by 15-400%. Regional airlines typically average 25-50% more landings on retreads and save associated tire changing costs.
2. Retreads have been proven SAFER than new tires.
Research conducted by the University of Michigan using hydrostatic burst pressure testing found that worn tires burst at 8psi higher than a new tire. This, along with the fact that retreads are individually inspected for leaks, separations, and defects substantiates the increased reliability of properly retreaded tires.
3. Our retreads are BALANCED using an industry leading technique.
Wilkerson retreads are suitable for use on nose landing gear applications because of extreme attention to balance.
4. Retreading is ENVIRONMENTALLY friendly.
Scrap tires represent one of the greatest problems to the U.S. environment in the 2000's. Because of retreading in the airline industry, 75-85% fewer tires are scrapped.
