Tyres are an essential component of a coach or bus, but many operators may think they are a single fitment item needing to be disposed of and replaced every time.
Goodyear employ the multiple life concept for their tyres. This means that it is possible for a tyre to have four lives: new, regrooved, retreaded and regrooved retreaded.
Retreading is essential for any fleet to help improving its efficiency by ensuring the prolonged economic life of its tyres.
By reusing the same tyre carcass there is a reduction in the amount of raw materials used, emissions produced and waste created compared to creating a new tyre.
Many fleets are now fitting retreaded tyres instead of new ones. This not only maximises the lifetime potential of their tyres, but it is also cost-effective and economically beneficial to the fleet and the environment.
Goodyear offer a wide range of retreading packages under its Multiple Life concept.
