This service is especially beneficial to fleets that
have a retreading program in place with us. Wheels and
tires can be removed at the same time and sent for
processing. After the tire is retreaded, we mount it
back on a reconditioned rim for delivery to the
customer. This allows a fleet to maintain a better
appearance as tires are replaced on units on a regular
rotational basis.
