Now much more popular than precures, the mould cure process takes an existing casing and fully replaces the whole exterior surface area of the tyre, from one sidewall bead to the other. A process carried out at higher temperatures, these 'hot cure' retreads represent the ultimate in mileage potential, reliability and operating safety.

Why choose Goodyear Dunlop Retreads?

Economy
The fact is that high technology Goodyear Dunlop retreaded tyres offer just as good mileage potential as new, first-life tyres. And at a cost of approximately one-third less, the economic argument for choosing retreads is rock solid. But there are further benefits, too.

Safety
The first is that government-sponsored studies have proved that high quality retread tyres are every bit as reliable, durable and resistant to failure as their new tyre counterparts. Meaning the safety standards which have made us industry leaders are upheld by all our retreaded tyres.

Environment
The second major benefit concerns the environment – and our impact upon it. Tyre disposal is now a major issue. No longer can old tyres simply be buried in landfill sites. We need to make sure that each and every tyre lives and works for as long as it possibly can – thereby ensuring the maximum possible return from all the natural resources and energy used to create it, and the very minimum financial and environmental cost at disposal.

Service
As a ‘full service’ tyre supplier, Goodyear Dunlop retread products ideally complement sales of our new, first life tyres. Today, most truck operators choose to run a mixture of new and retreaded tyres, so whatever their individual preferences and tyre mix, Goodyear Dunlop can meet each and every customer’s needs exactly. Goodyear Dunlop is also a leader in offering the road transport industry fully comprehensive ‘cradle-to-grave’ tyre management services. Innovative and cost-effective, our TruckForce, FleetOnlineSolutions, T3 and ServiceLine 24h packages can quickly determine the most productive tyre solutions for your fleet, including the ideal mix between new and retreaded tyres. From new tyre acquisition to retreads and, ultimately, casing disposal, Goodyear Dunlop can handle it all.

Quality
Benefiting from advanced design, premium materials and top quality construction techniques, Goodyear and Dunlop casings naturally make excellent foundations for retreading. And we insist on upholding these standards across all our retreads: Every casing considered for retreading by Goodyear Dunlop has been inspected twice: once at the point of collection, and once upon arrival at our factory. If we consider the casing to be in any way compromised, it goes for scrap there and then. Once a casing has passed inspection it is individually logged on our computerised casing management system – allowing us to monitor and track every stage of its life from retreading, throughout its future service on the road, to its disposal.
With the retreading process complete, every tyre is then subjected to a full inflation test and a detailed examination to guarantee that it’s 100% up to specification and the quality standards we demand. So, whenever you choose a Goodyear or Dunlop retread we’ll confidently guarantee that only a premium quality casing, such as from Goodyear Dunlop, will be used. This way, you’ll feel completely assured that you’ve bought a first-class product, able to deliver a mileage potential fully equivalent to new, first-life tyre models.

The Processes

Precure Retread Process
Goodyear Dunlop delivers only the highest quality precure retreads to commercial truck fleets. That's because we carefully monitor every stage of the precure retreading process, from primary assessment to final inspection. During Goodyear Dunlop's precure process, vulcanized tread rubber is firmly bonded to a buffed casing and placed in a curing chamber where the tread becomes securely adhered to the tire. The result is a NEXT TREAD retread that is very similar to a new tire.

Mold Cure Retread
Nexttreadfactory

In Goodyear Dunlop's mold cure system, non-vulcanized tread rubber is applied to a buffed tire. The tire is then heated in a mold, where the rubber vulcanizes and forms the new Goodyear or Dunlop tread design. After the mold cure process is completed, Goodyear Dunlop examines the tire. This final inspection ensures that only tires that meet Goodyear Dunlop's high standards leave the retread plant.

Unicircle® Retread

Goodyear Dunlop is committed to continuously improving the quality and durability of its NEXT TREAD retreads. This dedication is what led to the development of Goodyear Dunlop's UniCircle retreading process. Like the name implies, each UniCircle retread features a solid, seamless construction, as well as uniform tire characteristics and dimensions. This promotes even tread wear and low rolling resistance, the two biggest keys in cost-effective performance.

The 4 Lives of a Tyre

Whereas many people today think that you cannot regroove a retreaded tire, here at Goodyear Dunlop we know that you can. Yet it is crucial that the tire casings are of a premium quality - and it is precisely to these standards that Goodyear Dunlop offers its range of retread products.

Because we have the innovation to greatly extend a tire’s life-span in this way, top quality Goodyear and Dunlop retreads therefore provide both the maximum possible productivity, and maximum cost-efficiency.
