The Kraiburg retread program can reduce your tire costs by as much as two-thirds, without compromising mileage, safety or performance.

Financial Aspect of Retreading

As you all know tyres are the major cost after fuel in any fleet operations. The major percentage of the cost of a tire is in the casing. Most of the time, the casing is still strong and in good condition once the original tread has been used. A quality retread can save a great deal of money without compromising quality or safety, though the initial pricing may be a bit higher, it will prove the better cost per kilometer and thus benefiting the fleet’s operational costs. As the comparison chart shows, retreading your tyres with Standard Retreads will provide significant cost savings.
