Tyre retreading saves you money. Today, tyre retreading costs are about 25-30 percent of the cost of a new tyre.
The life of the retreaded tyre is approximately 60-80 percent of the life of a new tyre.
In terms of running kilometre retreaded tyres therefore cost about 30 percent of the cost of a new tyre resulting in substantial savings.
Tyre retreading is also essentially a recycling process. In Western countries, tyres cannot be put in landfills and must be recycled.
The government also offers incentives to recyclers to recycle worn out tyres.
