Although retreaded tires pose a considerable safety risk, because retreaded tires are relatively cheap and profitable, there are still many illegal stores that retread old tires and sell them, which prompts you to learn to identify them. Retreads and new tires seem crucial.

How to identify retreaded tires and new tires

1. First, you can observe the markings on the side of the tire. Generally, the side of new tires has the tire's trademark logo and its corresponding parameters, while most of the retreaded tires are counterfeit and pasted. Try to pick it out. If it is a retreaded tire, you can pick out these marks. Especially the production date, changing the production date is a common operation for retreaded tires.

2. Observe the hair. New tires have hair, but retread tires cannot imitate hair. (The identification diagram of retreaded tires and new tires is shown below)

3. Observe the texture gloss of the tires. The texture gloss of new tires is mild, while retreaded tires will be polished and waxed too much due to smoothness, making them look unusually bright and have shallow textures.

4. Observe the tire ductility. New tires have better ductility than retreaded tires. Use a key to lightly scratch the tire. If it is a new tire, the scratches will disappear quickly, but a retreaded tire will not be repaired for a long time, leaving scratches.

5. Pull the tire damage mark with your hand. Generally, the damage mark of retreaded tires is affixed and can be easily pulled out, while the damage mark of new tires is integrated with the tire and is difficult to pull out.

6. Price. The price of new tires is generally similar to the current market price and is very stable. And if the price gap between the tire price and the current market price is too large, it may also be retreaded tires.

Generally retreaded tires are very thin, which means that the risk of tire puncture is increased, and because retreaded tires are tires that have already been used, the texture of the tires will fade. , the characteristics will be reduced to a certain extent. In order to better purchase genuine new tires and ensure the normal performance of the vehicle, car buyers should try their best to buy from stores authorized by tire trademarks. Do not be greedy for cheap and avoid buying retreaded tires.
