The Customer Own Casing (COC) scheme means all casings, with no visual defects, can undergo retreading – helping fleet operators to reduce their total cost of ownership, says Goodyear.
The company says its Multiple Life Concept – which combines regrooving and retreading – reduces tyre costs by up to 10% while it increases mileage by up to 25% compared to using two sets of new tyres.
In addition, there are environmental benefits through using fewer materials in the process, and lower fuel consumption and CO2 emissions thanks to the extended performance of the retreaded tyre. The benefit of the COC scheme is that the operator knows the history of the tyres being retreaded.
“Accepting more casings from our customers for retreading means one less worry for the vehicle operator. The Goodyear Multiple Life Concept maximises tyre performance, lowers running costs and improves the CO2 footprint,” says Grégory Boucharlat, Goodyear Dunlop’s director of retread operations EMEA.
Goodyear’s 100% COC acceptance guarantee is available now and applies to tyre sizes 295/60R22.5, 295/80R22.5, 315/60R22.5, 315/70R22.5, 315/80R22.5 385/55R22.5 385/65R22.5 and 435/50R19.5.
