Michelin Retread tyres are manufactured in factories that have invested in and implemented specific Michelin-approved retreading equipment, manufacturing process and quality systems.
Each accredited factory must undergo a rigorous audit of both product quality and the adherence to the Michelin Quality System by both Michelin Australia (quarterly) and the larger Michelin Group (annually).
The Michelin developed retread tyre process is designed to remanufacture your used Michelin tyre and other branded tyres, to new Michelin tyre standards. The treads used in the process are manufactured in the same factories and using the same compounds as the new tyres.
The attributes that apply to new Michelin new tyres are applicable to the Michelin retread tyre:
• Innovation
• Performance
• Quality
• Lowest cost per kilometre
• Reliability
• Technical Support
Premium performance that lasts longer, reduces cost per kilometre and reduces fuel consumption when compared with alternative retread offers;
80 years of retreading experience, Michelin process and quality system, rigorous casing inspection and repair operation, similar tread compound to new;
Reduces number of scrap tyres by re-using the casing, less CO2 emissions thanks to lower rolling resistance.
