Before buying retread tires: retreads vs. new truck tires
Retread tires are used commercial truck casings with the worn tread buffed off and a new tread bonded on. NeoTires sells new tires only, so fleets comparing retreads with new tires on NeoTires are choosing between a lower upfront price and a tire whose whole life, from casing to tread, starts with them.
Positions where buyers choose new tires over retreads
New tires are required on the front wheels of buses: FMCSA rules (49 CFR 393.75) bar regrooved, recapped and retreaded tires from bus front wheels. Retreads are legal on truck and tractor steer axles, but most fleets buy new steer tires and use retreads, if at all, on drive and traileraxles.
Casing history when buying new instead of retread
A new tire's casing has no earlier miles, repairs or underinflation behind it. A retread's casing has already run at least one full tread life with another owner or fleet, and the retreader's inspection decides whether that casing is sound enough to reuse.
Warranty coverage to compare before buying
New commercial truck tires carry the tire manufacturer's warranty, which typically covers the casing and the original tread. Retread warranties are issued by the retreader, and terms vary from shop to shop, so buyers comparing the two read both warranties side by side.
Cost per mile: new tires vs. retreads
Retreads cost less per tire up front. A new premium truck tire costs more, but a new tire's cost per mile includes the casing's later value: a casing in good condition can be retreaded one or more times, or traded in for casing credit. Fleets that compare both by cost per mile, not sticker price, often buy new tires for the casing as much as for the tread.
Buying new tires with retreadable casings
Fleets that plan to retread later buy new tires with premium casings built for retreading, and check the manufacturer's casing warranty and retread allowance before ordering. A new tire bought this way delivers the original tread life first and the retread lives after it, from a casing whose full history the fleet knows.
Truck tire sizes to check when ordering new
New commercial truck tires are ordered in the same sizes retreads are sold in, such as 11R22.5, 295/75R22.5 and 11R24.5, plus 19.5-inch sizes for medium-duty trucks. The size and load range on the truck's current tires decide the order; fleets buying for California box-trailer routes also check for SmartWay verification.
Ordering new truck tires instead of retreads with NeoTires
Fleets switching an axle from retreads to new tires order by the size and load range on the current tires and the job of the axle. Search the size on NeoTires, compare new steer, drive and trailer tires by price and casing quality, and add the axle set to the cart. NeoTires dispatches new truck tires the same day anywhere in the US, ships tires marked Free shipping at no cost, and offers Klarna, Affirm and Afterpay financing at checkout for fleets that prefer to spread the cost.
