retreads
Michelin Retread Technologies are designed to drive your cost-per-mile down to a new, all-time low.
Behind each of our retreads is a state-of-the-art, multi-step process that utilizes the most advanced equipment in the industry. Each step in the process brings us closer to our goal: to provide you the best performing retreads you will ever run. If sustainability is a goal, it can also be achieved through retreading. Ultimately, Michelin retreads will help you achieve lower costs on the road and help improve your bottom line.
You’ll see:
- Increased reliability
- Lowered downtime
- Lower cost-per-mile
Additional benefits to MRT Custom Mold Retreads include:
- Improved rolling resistance
- Enhanced uniformity
- Improved reliability (no splice)
- Respects new tire architecture
Michelin Retread Process
Our retread process begins with a revolutionary inspection of your used casings. Next, we give your tires a state-of-the-art buffing, to ensure that the new tread bonds tightly to your existing casings. Though our specially engineered cushion extrusion process, we’ll provide a durable bonding layer, preparing your tire for one of our high performance pre-mold or custom treads. After we build the tread, we’ll send it through our curing process.
The end result is something genuinely new, and we believe dramatically better. To find out more about how no other retread is a Michelin, watch the MRT Visual Tour.
Allied Goes One Step Further
At Allied’s MRT plant, we pre-inflate every retread to 115 psi before delivery. We are the only retreader in the industry to take this additional precautionary step. Our process of triple checking the casings minimizes the chance of a tire coming out of service.
Also, before we even retread one tire, our tire consultants will sit down with you to determine the specs you feel comfortable with (i.e. how many nail holes, section repairs, etc.) when retreading a casing that has been repaired. We call this Casing Asset Management or C.A.M. Specs. Just one more way Allied goes above and beyond to better serve our customers.
Top of the class
The Allied MRT plant consistently scores 98% or better on Michelin’s unannounced annual audits, which lands us consistently in the top 10 of the existing 70+ MRT plants currently in operation. You can trust our experience as we’ve been retreading since 1998, and custom molding since 2000. We strive to be the best and take pride in the quality of our work…and it shows!
