We use radial and nylon tire carcasses to remold our rubber process onto used or new tire carcass. Our process is similar in many ways to how a new tire is made. The only thing , we recycle the carcass. The method is not like a truck tire, which has a pre-cured tread, applied with glue. Our tires are mechanically shaved down. Buffed to a precise level and then new, uncured rubber is reapplied via a computerized extruding machine. The tires are then inserted into individual molds that have the tread patterns in them and they are recured at high temperature and high pressure….just like a new tire.
