CasingSource.com – Buy or sell commercial tire casings for retreading.
Imported commercial truck tires (particularly from China) have disrupted the U.S. market over the years because of a dramatically lower price versus such major brands as Michelin, Bridgestone and Goodyear. Because of this, fleet managers and end users were forced to decide if the benefits of retreading were still a viable option or if just purchasing a cheap import and discarding the casing after a one-time use was more cost efficient. In many cases the price of a cheap import was exactly the same or sometimes even lower than the price of retreading an existing casing.
According to a recent article from Modern Tire Dealer, the U.S. Department of Commerce reports that these imports have been on a dramatic rise with just over six million commercial truck tires imported in 2012 to almost ten million imported in 2015.

But with new laws enacted recently by the International Trade Commission the amount of imported Chinese truck tires actually decreased towards the end of 2016 and new data suggests that the anti-dumping and countervailing measures imposed will further reduce these imports in the years to come.
Now with these fair trade policies in place, U.S. retreaders should see an increase in overall production with a returned /renewed focus in retreading quality casings.
Ironically, these cheap imports may have had a lower initial price but studies have shown that the overall cost of ownership increased for fleet managers and end users because of the poor casing craftsmanship, lack of retreadability, sub-standard warranty and poor resale value.

The Scrap Tire Research and Education Foundation, Inc. is a non-profit research foundation established to support basic and applied research and appropriate educational activities on issues relating to the sound handling and utilization of waste or scrap tires.
The foundation was organized in late 1992 and operates in cooperation with the Rubber Manufacturers Association which is recognized as the leading organization devoted to promoting economically viable and environmentally sound uses for scrap tires.
The goals of promoting scrap tires as a valuable commodity in all ways that are economically and environmentally sound have continually been met in many important areas such as civil engineering, rubber modified asphalt, artificial reefs, alternative fuels and more.
