The radialization of OTR tires began with the desire of operators to carry greater loads at higher speeds and obtain longer hours of service from their tires. One of the leading causes of failure in OTR tires has been sidewall cuts penetrating into the steel cables of the radial casing. Left unattended, these cuts will grow with every revolution of the tire, allowing moisture and dirt to work into the steel cables, eventually causing premature failure of the casing. With these thoughts in mind, we developed the Unicure system to maximize casing life and generate new tire performance. With our process, all cuts, from bead to bead, are removed and a new sidewall veneer is applied to restore the tire to like-new form. Visit www.communityretread.com to learn more!

HAPPENING THIS WEEK: The 2024 CSVA INTERNATIONAL ROADCHECK is May 14-16. Inspections will be focused on tractor protection systems and alcohol and controlled substance possession. Inspectors will be meticulously checking everything from brake systems to emergency exits, ensuring every vehicle meets the highest standards of safety and compliance. Remember, this is about more than just passing an inspection—it's about protecting lives on the road. #Pace #logistic #transportations #OurRoadsOurSafety #RoadSafetyWeek

COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS WHEN IT COMES TO RETREAD TIRES- Statement: New tires have better mileages. False: Comparable, and often better mileages are seen in retreads versus new tires. Community Tire’s manufacturing process allow fleets to enjoy the same new tire benefits at a fraction of the cost. Statement: Retreads cannot be driven at high speeds. False: Retreads can be used safely at the same speed as new tires. If you're worried about this, then you'll be surprised to hear that the Tire Retread & Repair Information Bureau reports that 80% + of aircraft tires in service within the US are retreaded. Statement: You shouldn't use retreads in severe or off-road applications. False: Retreads are used every day on emergency vehicles, school buses, and waste haul and construction trucks in some of the most severe conditions!  Learn more about how Community Tire can save your company money at www.communityretread.com  #tires #retreadtires #environment #savetheearth #unicure #radialotr #biasotr #military #agriculture #precure #specialtytires

HOW DO EQUIPMENT MANAGERS CHOOSE TO USE RETREAD TIRES VS. NEW TIRES? Your own scrap pile can help you learn more about what your equipment is encountering on the job site and help with prevention and repairs. Understanding why you have taken tires out of service will help you make better choices when buying new or retread tires for your vehicles. The information can be an asset to get more miles out of every tire.  44% of commercial tires in operation are retreads, with 90% of large fleets in the US and Canada using retread tires in some way, so clearly, they are a viable choice when looking to outfit your equipment for operation.  Properly maintained retread tires offer up to 30 % lower cost compared to new tires, for similar performance, mileage and performance comparable to that of new premium tires at a fraction of the cost, and reliability and performance similar to new tires. Knowing your fleet and tracking your tire maintenance and usage are your best tools to choose the right option between retread tires vs. new tires.

A helpful tip for specifying industrial safety barriers: A safety barrier’s impact rating should be defined by its weakest point — not its strongest! Guardrails should be tested at their uprights & midspans, and the weakest point should determine the rating. For example, if uprights are tested to 6,100 J and the midspan is tested to 20,000 J, then that safety barrier should only be certified to 6,100 J. Avoid being misled by inflated product ratings.

Radial tire retreading requires that the tire be built to precise dimensions. In order to achieve this, we utilize computer-controlled building machines which wind a continuous ribbon of rubber around the buffed tire. As in the buffing process, the operator chooses from a variety of programs for each tire size and design. We utilize two different rubber compounds. First, a special sidewall/underbase compound which helps resist cut growth and cracking in the sidewall area is applied. A cut-resistant compound is then used to finish building the tread area to its final dimension. The last step in the building process is the hand application of a 1/8" sidewall veneer. In addition to providing new tire looks, the new veneer restores the tire’s anti-aging properties.
