Initial Inspection
Each tire is hand-inspected to ensure that it meets STTC’s high Earthmover tire retreading standards.
Buffing
Buffing removes the old tread design, then trues the tire with utmost precision.
Skiving
Any damaged tire areas are removed, allowing for the proper adhesion of new rubber.
Cementing
The cementing process provides a tacking surface for the new rubber.
Plugging/Filling
Plugging provides a uniform surface with which to apply the retread.
Building
Computerized building ensures precise radius, diameter, and tread depth specifications.
Molding
The new tread is embedded into the tire and the tire is cured from the outside in.
Trimming & Painting
Any excess rubber is removed to create a clean, smooth finish and the tire is freshly painted.
Final Inspection
Each tire undergoes a rigorous final inspection. Only first-class retreads are shipped to our customers.
