Benefits of using retreaded tires: improve the reuse rate of scrap tires and save energy consumption.
It is legal to sell retreaded tires, including in Hong Kong, but the quality of retreaded tires must be guaranteed. It is illegal to deceive consumers by "passing off inferior products as good ones" or treating them as "90% new tires".
Inferior retreaded tires are retreaded by small workshops and used tire markets, and then re-labeled with "famous brand" car tire trademarks. Their tire safety indicators simply cannot meet the qualified standards. Not only are their quality poor, but their lifespan is also Not long, it will not only affect the braking, but also easily cause a tire blowout.
The dangers of using inferior retreaded tires are great. Retreaded tires are 1-2 centimeters thinner than brand-new tires. Such tires wear out very quickly after being put on the road, and their lifespan is less than one-third of that of brand-new tires. What's more terrible is that these tires are afraid of pulling heavy goods and driving on the highway, because these tires are not ideal in terms of wear resistance and pressure resistance. Accidents caused by flat tires often occur on highways, and these retreaded tires are often the "culprit".
For brand tires produced by regular manufacturers, car tires have the tire model, performance, etc., and there is no difference between the tread and the sidewall. The shelf life date is printed on the inside, and the wear marks in the tread anti-slip grooves are clearly visible. . The carcass of retreaded tires is generally rough, and there are bonding marks on the side of the tire. Most of the signs of retreaded tires have been re-attached. If you scratch these signs with your nails, the ones that can be picked off must be retreaded tires.
