Tire Retreading

Manitoba’s Leader in Tire Retreading Repairs

Retreading is a tire repair process that gives new life to a used or worn-out tire. In many cases, worn-out tires still have a lot of serviceable life left, even though there is little to no useable tread remaining.

Our Process

Our retreaded tires have seen continued improvement over the years, as we have maintained our commitment to providing great quality tires at the lowest cost to both the environment and our customers. Here is our six-step retreading process:

1

Step 1

Initial Inspection

The tire or casing is inspected to ensure it passes industry standards regarding casing integrity, age, etc., before it begins the retreading process.

2

Step 2

Buffing

The casing is buffed to remove the old tread and prepare the tire for the new tread.

3

Step 3

Repair/Skiving

The casing is repaired, and any stones or other debris are removed manually.

4

Step 4

Building

An adhesive agent is applied to the casing. New rubber is then applied.

5

Step 5

Curing

Depending on the process, the casing is placed in a mould or a chamber to cure the rubber.

6

Step 6

Final Inspection

The tire is thoroughly inspected before being shipped to the customer.
