  • These things are the DEVIL!!!

  • The finished product of this process usually ends up blown to pieces all over our motorways.Providing us with life threatening obstacles to dodge at high speed on our otherwise monotonous journeys! Maybe 30-60% cheaper than a new tyre but 80% more likely to spectacularly explode during use.It is impossible to know the history of a casing,during use the beads and ply can be broken or weakened by overloading,impact or curbing.This damage becomes apparent when a remolded tire suddenly fails in use.

  • is 30% savings worth a high way pileup?

  • In case you haven't noticed, these are retreaded truck tires. And yes they separate. But when you're under the gun on your trucking rates, a $200 retread vs a $600-800 new tire is a no brainer. Nobody puts these on Steer tires, only back tandems and trailers. So yes they are safe. If one blows, theres still another tire beside it. No I would never put a retreaded tire on my car. Around here, they don't touch the sides, only the tread.

  • wat a suicide job

  • This is just frightening.

  • I'll remember this next time I see a flying chunk of rubber coming my way from a rig.

  • read the top comment. this is a safe product.

  • How it's made? Babies.

  • Man that's scary watching this stuff being glued on an old salvaged shell after having holes and defects cut out of it!

    Fer crist sake buy a NEW tire and dont mess with this retreaded crap

  • Watching this made me tired, really retired..

  • Wow, could the narrator sound more like a robot?

  • @DanThrustPC She's Canadian.

  • I cant believe school busses use this kind of tires on the rear all the time. Poor kids are riding on remolds. Horrible

  • @vitalikushtan "poor kids!" wasnt long ago they had to actually WALK the 3 blocks to school instead of riding a yellow limo in A/C burning $4 a gallon diesel fuel!

  • @NativePrairieWolf

    You mean the 20 miles...through the snow...uphill...both ways.

  • @SgtPiggie Yeah, they dont make kids like they USED to when they could move their non fat azzes 10 miles to school by getting up at 5 AM and walking it, now 3 whole blocks is "torture" and abuse lol

  • unbelievable !!!

  • fuck this, new one.......

  • why not melt all the second hand tyres into a mold, done!

  • @animalnt rubber cannot melt once it is cured!

    

  • @scimmiarospata wow cheers, learn something new everyday XD

  • и почему есчё остались свалки с покрышками?

  • soviel Aufwand ist das den nicht sinnvoller gleich nen neuen reifen herzustellen?

  • Only "TWAT Tartd" here is you! If you think it is perfictly safe to have the REtread of 18 wheeled truck fly off of it case at 65MPH, then sir, you are the said "TWAT" And If you think it is perfictly safe to have the 30lbs REtread of 18 wheeled truck lying in the road for a car, or Worse! a Motor Cycle to hit then Sir? you are that King Twat Tard!

  • Very smart buy. Screw people who think they know.

  • All tires have their lifetime.

    Dont buy this shi.t and save your life.

  • :o thats all i can say

  • JUNK! Outlaw this CRAP! Look at the steal belts getting CUT! at 1:48.

    We have all seen the Giant chunks of tire in the road!

  • @kffive Another person looking to outlaw things in the name of safety. You're a twat and what's wrong with nearly the entire world today. Let retards be retards. But there's nothing wrong with a retread or cutting a little bit of steel in the tires. If this was a race car yeah, you might not want to repair it. But it's not, it's an 18 wheeler. You do know most tractor trailers can only go sub 65mph right? And anything with that inertia won't crash if a tire does manage to blow.

  • Out of the three tires at the end, the one on the right was my favurite, how about you?

  • 1:46 slick racing tyre!

  • how the fuck is "the worlds biggest zit" relate to tire shit

  • @bobthebuilder6938 Because it most be poped!

  • @bobthebuilder6938 use adblock and block just that specific picture on the page.

    it works out great and i dont have to see disgusting shit like that ever again..

    :]

  • @bobthebuilder6938 why would you want to see a big ass zit? lol

  • i wish there were retreaded for cars

  • @MrBuzzialdrin there were but no one bought them, so they stopped making them. Now only big trucking company's and a few others bother to retread. They are as good as new tires ...if done right. That's the problem small cars had with these, so many nonprofessionals bought the equipment and didn't know what they were doing..or didn't care. The Product was often shoddy.

  • @MrBuzzialdrin

    they do....

  • @MrBuzzialdrin There is.

  • this woman's voice sounds so mechanical and boring

  • bad for drift.. surface is divided into chunks..

  • Yeah right, that´s why we find of lot exploded bits and parts of tires beside the highways... can you say that if the beadwires are being cut during manufacturing as we see on the vid, won´t hurt the quality ??

  • @1339LARS I didn't see the bead wires getting cut. I only saw the casing getting cut. I'm not sure if that would hurt the quality.

  • @1339LARS The tread won't come off unless the tire is either improperly inflated, or punctured. It is chemically bonded to the actual casing through vulcanization. it is one piece of rubber after the mold. when a tire blows out its from the actual wires separating and then forces tear it apart.

  • needs male voice

  • re treading is illegal in the uk

    

  • Well are cheap and good tires :)

  • Isn't it illegal for truck and/or buses to use retreads? If they are so safe, how come they don't allow it? 

  • @normanmj No. Who the heck else would use them? Here you can't use them on your steer axle (single wheel vs tandems on the rear).

  • can anyone please tell me what make of machine is being used to remold the tyres or a company that supplies these machines. thanks

  • I like recycling.

  • no wonder those patches always are out when we get tires, need to stitch them from the center to the outside!

  • such tire are highly dangerous...

    please never use those...

  • retreaded tires suck. they always desintegrate and leave peices all over the highways.

  • The fuck's this shit?

  • At 2:51 or 2:52, there is the word "Jews" on the inside of the tire.

    Strange.

  • im runnin retreads on my passenger truck and I LOVE THEM! Its a win win. Better for Al Gore, and so far they are wearing BETTER than my past tires.

  • Why do I feel that it will cost more to rebuild than buying new?

  • when a proper tire maintenance is perform, any of this retreads, would give you the same, or, even better results on the road than a new tire .

  • Why risk it, just buy a NEW tyre!!!!

  • @oldtintoys You got the money for a new tire?

  • "this process is called polymerisation", sounds like she doesn't have a clue.

  • @michiel2047 i bet you don't either

  • @shwacksack i did a course in chemistry so i think i do...

  • @michiel2047 oohhh wow ' a course ' rofl thx for the laugh

  • @shwacksack nothing funny. I'm a engineering student. I know about stuff. In fact tire production was one of the questions on my exam. now quit your bitching...

  • @michiel2047 BAHHHA HAHAH.... "I know about stuff" HAHAHAH holy shit I feel bad for your kids

  • @shwacksack ? i don't get your problem. Did i offend you or something? I don't have kids (read student). Fucking dumbass troll.

  • Re-Caps blow so much in the summer. I know it may cost an extra $150-200 for a new tire, but it's worth it.

  • That's not a buffing wheel, its a wheel of death!

  • I chased tire caseings for a living for a while 10R22's would bring $100 or better. If you can find 10 20 in good shape even more than that. they don't make that size anymore and at one time they were the most common size so there are many trucks, old ones, that take them but they are the old split rims and they killed many tire workers when the would pop off.

  • In fact, car manufacturers choose low quality tire. They choose tires that "patches" the vehicule problems. They take "stiffer" tires for car who have a too "bouncy" or "soft" suspension. Many times, they pick tires who have a lower thread quality in terms of lifespan. They choose a poor rubber quality to pay less for them (The tires don't have the same warranty as the car).

  • I'm a rubber specialist at Bridgestone and you would be able to get uncured rubber from any rubber compagny but you won't be able to cure it correctly anyway... That needs special equipent that worth tousands of dollars. jjmons is correct: no major tire companies produces "shit" but simply have different properties. Every tire model (in a same brand) has their own unique properties. Most of the time, what we call shit is the tire chosen by the car manufacturer (GM, Honda, ...).

  • anyone know how I can get the "rubber strips" as shown at 2:48 ? I need a rubber that is moldable that can withstand a arrowshot from a bow after it hardens. Top Secret but youll be doing batman a favor!

  • io unu mai bine imi iau amvelope noi

  • I work at a Michelin plant and no one in Michelin believes Bridgestone is "shit". They make a very good tire at a good price but do not last as long or have the same comfort as a Michelin. Retreads can be safe if done correctly. The #1 reason for retreads to come off is low tire pressure. It is the duty of the driver to ensure that tires are inspected for damage and proper pressure. In fact the majority of tire failures on the interstate are related to improper inflation.

  • the general idea of reusing what's left from an used tire is ok. the problem is the production scale. in such small workshop the production process is not monitored and is not repeatable. i doubt they do any material analyses of received tires before starting the repair process. it will however be getting more popular proportionally to the increase of scap cost charged by each country.

  • Seen the tracks from tires like that come off.

    One of the reasons I don't like being behind trucks.

  • more cash .. more safe

  • these re caps come off and cause road hazards, wanna lose your life from an accident caused by one of these?

  • I used to work for one of these companies, and I can tell you, 100% truthfully, that the tread CANNOT separate from the tire. What you see on the sides of Interstates are simply tires that have punctured and were blown into pieces due to the pressure and spinning at 70 mph. I promise you, it wasn't because the tread came off and caused a failure. I know what it looks like, but I am 100% correct.

  • @smacman68 i am under a NDA with the company that manufactured the tires on my car.

    i had a complete side wall separation on the drivers side front tire that caused my car to flip over and crash into a guardrail going 70mph.

    my left leg was amputated above the knee, i was in a coma for 10 days and they ended up settling out of court rather than have the fact that they make tires with no side wall support in an effort to save money become public knowledge.

    poorly made tires WILL SEPARATE.

  • Anything can happen. Brand new tires can separate. Retreads can last forever. Reality is the great equalizer. I have seen people pulled from the ocean that have been there for days. Then you hear of the guy who drowns in a kiddie pool. The casing from which your failed tire was made was not worthy of a retread, but they used it anyways, to your sorrow, for which I am truly sorry for. What else can I say?

  • @smacman68 I'm going to disagree, a friend driving ahead of me had his trailer tyre come apart, with the tread fly off. However, the tire was the spare that had sat in the shed for 20 years, so it was rather brittle

  • @kylesenior Look, there are many reasons a tire can come apart. Happens all the time. What I am trying to get accross here is that it's not simply the "glue" coming loose and the tread flying off. Once that retread comes out of that mold, the vulcanization process fuses the new and old rubber together, as if it's the same rubber. That is all I am trying to say. I am not defending every tire failure that happens anywhere.

  • @smacman68 I'd agree

  • @smacman68 My dad has had a catastrophic sidewall failure with a re-tread and nearly ended up wrapped around a tree. That being said, it happened 30 years ago. Perhaps inspection processes have become more stringent, but personally I wouldn't buy them unless they were all I could afford.

  • @smacman68 i was told that it was that they were not left in the moundings for long enough, hence to save time and money.

    i mean, you are 100% correct, aircraft use re-treads dont they? i mean, large diameter tire coming in a 3-400kmh, sounds good to me.

  • @smacman68 that's funny.. then how come the tread on some of the dick cepeck tires on my uncles excursion literally separated off the tire when we were hauling a toy hauler on the freeway? pulled over on the side of the freeway and it was just the metal belt left on the tire, and you could see some of the tread that happened to be caught in the fender liner. still fully inflated and everything. got off the freeway and got replacements all the way around. please explain since your the expert.

  • @TheRcDevil dick cepeck tire company does not sell retreads. your tire more than likely had a slice across the tire, when it heated up it separated and peeled the tread off.

  • @TheRcDevil Too bad the tire didn't cause a horrific accident and killed you, then I wouldn't get these stupid, idiotic replys all the time, and Youtube would be a much nicer place. That's what the "expert" says.

  • @smacman68 in your original comment you never said that you were talking about retreads lol. what you said was "the tread CANNOT separate from the tire." and i commented because the tread DID separate from the tire... and then you continued to say that the treads on the side of the highway are not because of the treads separating from the tire. But guess where the tread was that ripped off of our tires? On the highway... So please tell me how my comment was the stupid one.

  • @TheRcDevil if it was just the metal belt the maybe you should think about the manufacturer of the tire itself. to say the least they don't apply a retread to the metal belt.

  • @kght222 Dick Cepek tires are not retreads. And i was only commenting back to smacman68 because he said the tires on the side of the highway are not from the tread falling off  but from a blowout and that he is 100% correct about that. Which in our case the tread came off and it was not caused by a blow out and so his statement is false.

  • @smacman68 this statement is very true, and beyond that most tires on the road, even cheap ones are not retreads, most retreads end up on commercial vehicles. but there is nothing wrong with a retread, as long as it was done properly like 90% of them are (and like 90% of new tires are which will have the same issues) it is just fine for highway and daily use. what i am saying is that retreaded tires are just fine to use, but you are unlikely to buy them unless you try to do so.

  • @smacman68 You're wrong.

  • @smacman68

    coincidentally, All these tires that fly apart are re-molded ..I am sorry but i disagree with you 100%...Re-Molded tires are dangerous at speeds over 62mph/100kph.The belt can come off.

  • @smacman68 You may have worked for the company, but I have had a tread separate on my car's tire. Yes, an actual separation. I could see the steel belts under the layer of rubber containing the tread.

  • @mspeir no use arguing with those ppl, they will just keep spitting their useless rhetoric about how perfect and safe it is, regardless of the facts, i have also seen the treads completely seperate from the tire, but you wont convince smacman68 of it, he been brainwashed by the company, and unable to think logically for himself

  • thats some poor remoulding. i work for bridgestone remoulding truck casings they go the long way about this on here and poor..... shame on them. and he scorches the rubber omg poorr

  • @Spengor what would you do differently?

  • @Spengor bridgestone is shit. thats why they fired them from formula 1

  • thats some poor remoulding. i work for bridgestone remoulding truck casings they go the long way about this on here and poor..... shame on them.

  • Neat ! Thanks.

  • 3:46 - Polymerization, Yu-Gi-Oh???

  • crappy........................­..............

  • seams a lot of work!!!! It must be cost effective!!!

  • @chap6595 Like the lady said, 30% to 60% savings. All your really paying for is labor. The material for this isn't that much $

  • COOL!!!! :D
