Innovative technology
- Developed, approved and controlled by Michelin, the Recamic cold-cure or pre-cured retreading system has the ability to create truck tyres that are more like new than retreads.

The perfect pattern and adhesive
- Perfectly matched on the original casing, Recamic treads accurately bond on all casing sizes.
- Tread is backed with a special polyester film exclusive to Recamic, and cured with Michelin manufacturerd cushion rubber for perfect adhesion and joint bonding.

The most advanced technological resources
- Automated bluff process that constantly delivers exact tread profiles and surface texture

Reduction in fuel consumption
- The high percentage of natural rubber, unique to Michelin manufactured treads, lowers rolling resistance and consequently improves fuel economy.

Regular audits on the Recamic workshops
- Consistency of the manufacturing processes
- Maintenance of the high level of quality Recamic retreads

Riding on a legacy of excellence
- Recamic treads are manufactured from the same compounds and patterns as new Michelin tyres. Identified on the shoulder area with the Michelin name, Recamic retreads deliver premium performance that lasts longer.

Endurance tests
- Identical to new tyre tests: checked on a rolling simulator for the endurance performance under the load and speed conditions shown on the tyre.

 



Recamic process utilises a thinner undertread that dramatically reduces heat buildup, the major enemy for both new and retreaded tyres. Comparative heating test carried out on Michelin casings under mixed fitting conditions.

Although fitted on the inside (which receives less ventilation), the Recamic retread heats up less than the competitor retread.
