Our professional repair service covers all sizes of commercial vehicle tyres and following a careful examination, we carry out repairs in line with BS AU 159f.

We also repair off-the-road tyres.

We take a worn tyre of good structural integrity, completely renewing the tread and sidewall rubber of the tyre.

There are 6 key stages to our retreading process:

Initial Inspection, Buffing, Preparation, Building, Curing and Final Inspection.

We perform 8 quality checks to ensure the rebuilt tyre has no defects and is fully fit for service. Our retread tyres are produced to ECE109 standards which is the same as with new tyres.
