Recapped Tire Comparison

Abstract

A test program has been conducted to compare the wear characteristics of conventional retread and precured retread 9:00 X 20 tires. An M-35 2 1/2 ton truck with a 5000 pound highway load was driven 9000 miles on a combination of paved, secondary and cross country surfaced roads with each type of retread tire in this evaluation. The precured retread tires exhibited about 10% less wear than the conventional retread tires on this test based on sample means. The precured tires were also more consistent in wear resistance.
