You never expected to “land” after today’s Little Aviators adventure and find you had a flat tire.
Yet that’s what happened. And it was a truly unwelcome happening at Little Aviators. Unfortunately, you can’t spend any extra money at all right now. And you really don’t need to spend money on one or two new tires to replace the flat. So, you looked at tire sales. And you calculated the lower price tires with their coupons. Given all that, you are now wondering if retreads would be a better choice.
What are Retread Tires?
A retread is also known as a recap or remolded tire except that its tread is new. The idea behind retreading is to extend the life of a tire. If not, the other choice is throwing the used tire out, according to consumerreports.org.
Thousands of people buy retreads each year. However, consumerreports.org says it does not advise retreading tires on passenger cars. And, some insurance companies side with consumerreports.org in refusing to okay the use of retreads. Because, according to Driverknowledgetests.com, the new tread can split off from the old tire.
Your Best Bet: Extending the life of your tires through regular Maintenance.
The best way to avoid needing a new tire is to maintain the tires you have. Because, poor tire care, according to nhtsa.gov, can cause blowouts, flats, or having tread separate from the wheel. Whereas, good tire care extends the life of the tire. And good tire care includes rotating, balancing, proper inflation, and correct alignment.
The NHTSA points out that the most important factor in tire care is tire pressure. So, check it once a month. And, you can always do the “penny test” to keep track of your tread wear and tear. However, if you do not feel comfortable maintaining your own tires, then go see the tire care guys at Tracy’s Automotive.
