Commercial Retread Tyres​

Extending Tyre Life, Reducing Costs

Retreading is a smart, cost-effective way to extend the life of commercial tyres while reducing environmental impact. Instead of disposing of worn tyres, the retreading process gives them a fresh tread, restoring performance and durability at a fraction of the cost of new tyres. Black Rubber is Michelin and Goodyear accredited for retreads, ensuring premium quality and reliability for commercial and fleet applications.
Michelin and Goodyear Retread Solutions

As a Michelin-accredited retread facility, the Michelin Industrial Process is used to produce retreads that match the tread compound and patterns of new Michelin tyres. With computer-guided laser technology, a precision-cut, tapered tread is applied to the casing, ensuring a seamless fit. The tyre is then vacuum-sealed and cured under controlled heat and pressure for maximum durability.

Goodyear retreads also deliver exceptional performance and longevity, with advanced rubber compounds designed to withstand heavy-duty applications. From long-haul transport and construction to industrial use, Michelin and Goodyear retreads provide a reliable and cost-effective alternative to new tyres.

Cost Savings Without Compromise

A retreaded commercial tyre can cost up to 50% less than a new tyre while delivering up to 90% of the mileage performance. This significant cost reduction helps businesses lower their total cost per kilometre (CPK) or cost per hour (CPH) without sacrificing reliability. Retreading also allows fleets to maximise their tyre investment by using the same casing multiple times, further extending overall value.

A Sustainable Tyre Solution

Choosing retreads isn’t just good for business—it’s good for the environment. Every 100 retreaded tyres save up to five tonnes of raw materials that would otherwise go to waste. Retreading also reduces CO2 emissions by over six tonnes per 100 tyres, helping businesses meet sustainability targets while cutting costs. Since a retread uses 70% fewer raw materials than a new tyre, it’s a greener alternative that supports a circular economy.

Tailored Fleet Support for Maximum Performance

Fleet operators benefit from expert tyre management services, ensuring tyres are rotated at the right intervals, maintained for optimal pressure, and selected for the right application. With access to Michelin’s Multi Life strategy and Goodyear’s retreading expertise, commercial and industrial fleets can achieve the lowest total tyre cost while maintaining peak performance.

Common Questions

Retreading offers significant cost savings, with retreaded tyres costing up to 50% less than new tyres while delivering up to 90% of the mileage performance. With premium retreads from Michelin and Goodyear, fleets get reliable, high-performance tyres at a lower total cost per kilometre (CPK) or cost per hour (CPH). Retreading also allows for multiple life cycles on a single casing, further extending the investment in each tyre.

Yes, retreading is a safe and widely used solution for commercial fleets. Michelin and Goodyear retreads undergo a strict inspection and manufacturing process, ensuring they meet the same safety and performance standards as new tyres. Advanced laser technology, precision tread application, and controlled curing guarantee durability and reliability, making retreads a trusted choice for trucks, buses, and industrial applications.

The number of retreads depends on the quality of the original casing and operating conditions. Many premium commercial tyres are designed for multiple retreads, allowing fleets to extend tyre life significantly. Regular tyre maintenance, proper inflation, and correct tyre selection all help maximise the number of retread cycles, ensuring the best value and performance from each tyre.
