Your responsibilities include buffing the tire and preparing the rubber for retreading. You may retread used tires manually or using specialized equipment. A worn casing of a tyre that has a good structural quality is taken off the car and is given renewed tread and sidewall rubber. The revamped tyre is then put through a curing process that causes the new rubber to vulcanise to the original casing. The result is a new tyre with a new tread pattern. Retreading means replacing a tyre's worn tread with a new tread. It is perfect for fleets that want to cut their operating costs and environmental footprint. MICHELIN is a pioneer: it has been retreading tyres for nearly a century and is always developing its innovative technology.
