Commercial Tire Retread Savings Calculator

Estimate the potential savings of retreading your commercial tires. Use the Michelin Retread Savings Calculator to see how retreading can impact your fleet’s tire costs, raw material use and CO₂ emissions

Calculate Your Potential Retread Savings

Retreading can help fleets get more value from serviceable commercial tire casings while reducing the need to purchase new tires. Use the Michelin Retread Savings Calculator to estimate the potential cost, raw material and CO₂ savings associated with retreading.

Enter your fleet size, number of retreaded tires and average new and retread tire prices below to see your estimated savings.

Understanding Your Retread Savings Estimate

Your calculator results provide an estimate of the potential financial and environmental impact of retreading based on the fleet and tire cost information you entered. Here's what each result can help you understand

Potential Cost Savings

See the estimated difference in tire costs based on the new and retread tire prices and quantities entered into the calculator. This can help illustrate the potential financial impact of incorporating retreads into your tire program

Raw Material Savings

See the estimated raw material savings associated with retreading. By reusing a serviceable tire casing rather than replacing the entire tire, retreading can reduce the amount of new raw material required.

CO₂ Savings

See the estimated CO₂ savings associated with the retreading scenario entered into the calculator, providing another way to evaluate the potential impact of extending the useful life of existing tire casings.

How Can Retreading Help Reduce Fleet Tire Costs?

Commercial tire costs don't end with the initial purchase. When a tire casing remains in serviceable condition, retreading can give that casing another useful life instead of requiring the fleet to purchase a new tire each time the tread is worn.

By getting additional use from a quality casing, fleets can spread the original tire investment across multiple tread lives and potentially reduce long-term tire costs.

Extend Commercial Tire Casing Life Through Retreading

Get More Life From Your Tire Casing

A commercial tire casing is a valuable part of the original tire investment. When a casing is properly maintained and remains suitable for retreading, a new tread can be applied so the casing can return to service rather than being replaced with a new tire.

Look Beyond the Initial Purchase Price

Comparing new tire and retread prices is useful, but purchase price alone doesn't show the full value of a commercial tire. Looking at tire cost per mile can help fleets evaluate tire costs across the casing's service life and better understand the long-term value of their tire program.

Retreading serviceable casings can reduce the number of new tires a fleet needs to purchase over time. The potential savings will vary based on factors such as tire prices, casing condition, maintenance practices and the number of tires eligible for retreading.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Retread Savings Calculator

How does the commercial tire retread savings calculator work?

The calculator uses information about your fleet and tire costs to estimate the potential impact of using retreaded tires. Enter the total number of tires in your fleet, the number of retreaded tires, the average price of a new tire and the average price of a retread tire to calculate potential cost, raw material and CO₂ savings.

How much can my fleet save by using retreaded tires?

Potential savings depend on factors such as the number of tires in your fleet, how many serviceable casings are retreaded and the difference between your new and retread tire costs. Enter your fleet's information into the calculator above to estimate the potential cost savings for your operation.

What tire prices should I enter in the retread savings calculator?

Use the average prices your fleet pays for comparable new and retread tires. Using pricing that reflects your actual tire program will provide an estimate that is more relevant to your operation.

What do the raw material and CO₂ savings results mean?

The raw material and CO₂ results estimate the potential environmental savings associated with the retreading scenario entered into the calculator. Retreading reuses a serviceable tire casing rather than requiring an entirely new tire, which can reduce the need for new raw materials and the associated CO₂ impact.

How can I evaluate the long-term value of retreading beyond the calculator?

The calculator provides an estimate based on the fleet and tire cost information entered, but purchase price is only one part of tire value. Fleets can also consider mileage, maintenance, casing life and tire cost per mile when evaluating the long-term value of their tire program.
