ACUTREAD
tires are cured in a segmented mold which produces a fixed diameter every time - just like new tires. Each tire—
regardless of brand—is within 1/32” in diameter This important feature allows even distribution of load extending mileage and
reducing heat build-up. A simple tread depth measurement is all that is required to match ACUTREAD
tires in dual wheel positions.

The advantage of the ACUTREAD
process over precure retreading is that each tire is cured with direct physical pressure
resulting in very high adhesion values. ACUTREAD
products can withstand severe twisting and turning and higher running
temperatures - just like new tires.
The technology of the ACUTREAD
process insures that every casing is prepared to an exact width and contour each time.
Proper buffed casing dimensions reduce casing fatigue, shoulder separations, and tread edge lifts while also promoting even
wear for extended mileage.
ACUTREAD fits the casing naturally

Precure treads are flat
but the casing has a radius
|
ACUTREAD
tires are splice free. Using a computerized rubber extruder, specialized rubber compounds are applied to the casing
in one continuous strip, eliminating the need for a splice. Alternative precure retreading processes apply fully cured tread to
casings and splice it together where the ends meet. The splice can cause a weak point and ride disturbance from an out-ofbalance
condition.
ACUTREAD
tires are produced with full depth siping. Siping aids in traction and assists in dispersing heat from the tread. This
“new tire” feature reduces casing fatigue and stress due to excessive heat build-up in the tread. Lower tread temperature is a key
factor in extended wear and fuel economy
The rubber compounds used to produce ACUTREAD
tires are specially formulated for superior adhesion, long wear, fuel
efficiency, and cut resistance. Computerized extruders allow ACUTREAD
tires to be produced with custom rubber compounds
that fit the requirements for each of our individual customers.
