- Regrooved tyres offer up to 10% more grip & traction
Resulting: Less downtime, longer-lasting tyres, and enhanced safety—supporting the productivity and profitability of your fleet.
The tread depth in a regrooved tyre is shallower than a new tyre
so it is more rigid. This rigidity reduces road friction and tyre rolling
resistance as well as less tyre wear leading to improved fuel efficiency.

Premium Hot-Cure Retreading Process
-
01 Visual inspection
A thorough inspection of all casings is undertaken by a professional and highly experienced team.
-
02 Shearography machine inspection
Casings undergo a further detailed inspection with the Shearography machine to ensure they are perfect for the retreading process.
-
03 Tread removal
The tyre rebuild begins by removing all the remaining tread to expose any damage to the casing hidden by the rubber.
-
04 Damage removal
Next critical step is the complete removal of all the damaged elements of the casing.
-
05 Damage repair
Any damaged casing plies and other damages are repaired.
-
06 New tread rubber
Now the casing is ready to have the tread rubber reapplied.
-
07 Tyres cured for 1 hour at 160°C
The curing press creates the new tread and sidewall and the finish on the Alphatread tyre is "as new". This is the identical process used for Hankook premium tyres.
-
08 Final inspection
To guarantee a performance close to our new premium tyres, 100% of Alphatread production is both manually and pressure inspected before approved for sale.
