| Inferior grades of retreads lead to…. |
Low quality low priced retreads are made with.. |
| Low Tensile strength |
High reclaim rubber content |
| Improper modulus |
Inferior natural rubber grades |
| Poor elongation |
Low grade and recycled process oils |
| Poor resistance to abrasive wear |
Cheap and faulty vulcanisation system |
| Inferior tear strength |
Nil or low content of Polybutadiene rubber, Age resistors / anti oxidents |
| Low thermal stability |
|
| High hysteresis and low resilience |
|
| Leading to tyre failure due to premature wearing and other retread failures |
