PACIFIC GROVE, CA - With the worldwide downturn in the economy facing cities, towns, counties, states, provinces and even villages everywhere, it is more important than ever for fleet managers to pay attention to their tire costs.
Retreads can and should be the answer. Not only are retreaded tires very environmentally friendly, they are far more economical than comparable new tires. The larger the tire size the greater the savings. In fact, for most tire sizes retreads can cut your tire costs by 50% and sometimes even more! The safety and reliability of today’s top quality retreads has been proven by millions of vehicles throughout the world over billions of miles.
All major commercial and military airlines use retreads – even on the largest planes flying – as do fire engines and other emergency vehicles, school and municipal buses, taxi fleets, race cars, small package delivery services such as FED EX, UPS and even the U.S. Postal Service, along with all types of other commercial and passenger vehicles.
A U.S. Federal Executive Order (13149) even MANDATES the use of retreaded tires on selected federal fleet vehicles.There is a vast amount of objective information available to fleet managers who wish to research the many benefits retreads have to offer and much of it can be found on our web site, www.retread.org.
Information about the true causes of tire debris (also known as rubber on the road & road alligators) can be found on this site.
