How to Identify Retreaded Tires?

[Gonzalez]

Methods to identify retreaded tires are as follows: 1. Tread pattern: For the same model of tire, inferior retreaded counterfeit tires will have much shallower tread grooves due to non-standard processing. Observe whether the drainage grooves and patterns of the tire are uniform. If the tire has been retreaded irregularly, there will be knife marks on the drainage grooves and patterns, and they will appear uneven. 2. Color: Inferior retreaded tires will have a more vibrant and shiny appearance. In contrast, new tires produced by regular manufacturers will look relatively darker. 3. Sidewall hardness: Press firmly on both sides of the tire. Inferior retreaded tires will feel softer and less elastic. 4. Markings: New tires produced by regular manufacturers will have wear indicators such as TWI or small triangles on the outer side of the tire. Most counterfeit retreaded tires have markings that are simply stuck on by small workshops, so you can identify them by trying to peel off the markings with your fingers.
