(March 7, 2008) - Fuel prices continue to climb with no end in sight and every day it gets more expensive to operate your fleet, whether it's a fleet of one or ten thousand. New tire prices will continue to escalate since the synthetic rubber used in manufacturing tires is petroleum based and we all know what that means. But there is a way to cut your operating costs, and that's to use retreads. Whether you have your own tires retreaded or buy tires that have already been retreaded, just be certain you deal with a TOP QUALITY retreader. If you do you will cut your tire costs up to 50% and will actually experience FEWER tire failures than with comparable new tires. As with many other things, it's simple but it isn't always easy. Don't be tempted to buy “price” when you shop for the best retreader. Although price is important, the life cycle costs for your tires are more important. Also by dealing with the best retreader in your area you can be assured you will have someone to fall back on if you do ever have a problem (Problems happen!). The safety, performance and handling record of top quality retreads has been proven by thousands of fleets over billions of miles. Virtually all major fleets routinely use retreads as do all major airlines, military vehicles, school and municipal buses, emergency vehicles, taxi fleets, small package delivery services such as DHL, FED EX, UPS and even the U.S. Postal Service. They would never use retreads if retreads didn't deliver the kind of trouble free performance they require. Do they know something you don't know? If you're feeling the pinch because of a rough economy, now is a very good time to have a look at why retreads may be for you. We are a different industry from the retreads you may have known in your father's day. Retreads will save you serious money, all of which falls to your bottom line.
