Michelin Retread Technologies
MICHELIN® Retread Technologies (MRT) gives commercial fleets a cost-effective way to extend the life of their tire casings while maintaining the performance, safety and reliability you expect from Michelin. By retreading eligible casings instead of replacing them with new tires, fleets can reduce tire costs, maximize their tire investment and lower the cost per mile.
MICHELIN® MRT combines proven tread designs with a rigorous, monitored manufacturing process. Every casing goes through multiple stages of inspection and preparation, including casing integrity testing, buffing, repair, tread application, curing and final inspection. The result is a retread designed for your application and built to deliver reliable performance, traction and mileage. Michelin also offers low rolling resistance retreads designed to help improve fuel efficiency.

7 Top Myths about retreaded truck tires
Buying low-cost import tires will save more money than retreading premium tires.
All the rubber on the side of the highway comes from recap truck tires. The rubber you see on the side of the road is a result of the tire failing due to low tire pressure. It is not due to a failure of the bond between the retread and the casing.
Remolded tires are not safe and can cause accidents.
Retreads are less fuel efficient than new tires.
Retreads don’t do well in extreme temperatures.
They don’t look as cool as new tires.
Retread truck tires are not as good for the environment.
Over the years, the quality of retread truck tires has increased dramatically, thanks to advances in technology, such as the 9-step manufacturing process that Michelin uses to create remolded tires that are high quality.
Don’t let old myths cause you to spend more money on new tires instead of exploring the cost-effective, environmentally-friendly option of retread truck tires for your fleet.
