Each April, Modern Tire Dealer ranks the “Top Retreaders in the U.S.” based on the average amount of tread rubber used to retread different types of tires. Twelve pounds of rubber, on average, are used to produce one light truck tire retread, while 24 pounds are used to produce one medium/heavy truck tire retread. An average of 324 pounds is used to build one OTR tire retread. MTD awards one point for every seven pounds of rubber used per retread. Each light truck tire retread equals 1.7 points, each truck tire retread equals 3.5 points, and each OTR retread equals 46 points. The point total does not include industrial tires. Numbers are rounded to the nearest point.
We are honored to work with 15 of MTD’s 2021 Top 50 Retreaders in the US. Congratulations to you all! Read the full list in Modern Tire Dealer’s April 2021 Issue.
