Treads Direct Limited

About Us

For most fleets, tyres represent either the second or the third largest item in their operating budget, right after labor and fuel costs.

The lowest possible cost-per-mile is achieved with a good tyre management program that includes the use of quality retreads.

Retreads are the replacement tyre of choice for most truckers.

Retreads are not only cost effective, but they are also dependable, reliable and safe. Retreads are used by truckers with scheduled delivery times, small package delivery companies with guaranteed delivery times, on commercial and military jets and by most school bus operators.

Retreads are also environmentally friendly. tyres are basically petro-chemical products. It takes almost 100 ltrs. of oil to manufacture one new truck tyre. Most of the oil is found in the casing, which is reused in the retreading process. As a result, it takes only 30 ltrs. of oil to produce a retread.

Retreaders, like trucking companies, have experienced considerable consolidation. Today, the most successful retreaders are those with the highest quality products, delivering the best possible return on investment to the fleets. Because of the competitive nature of the retreading industry, truckers can expect to see continuous improvement in quality, durability and reliability, as the major retread suppliers annually invest millions of dollars in research and development.
