Salter begins: "To get value for money, I think you can follow the same sort of rules and principles on retreads as you do with new tyres. So in simple terms, if you choose the same or a similar tread pattern as you would on new, then you're likely to get similar results as far as label grades are concerned. Obviously they won't be identical," he continues, "but having a consistent policy is a shortcut towards making sure you're in the right area." For that to work, however, it's important that both the new and used tyres chosen are correct for the application. "In the UK, too many people opt for a general-purpose regional haulage tyre," Salter warns. "They then use it over distances it isn't designed for, or in some on/off road or pure urban applications where the tyre doesn't perform to its best." Tyre manufacturers develop ranges of tyres for a reason, in other words, although there will always be grey areas. |
