Retreads and Highway Safety
A retread is a tire with a new outer tread attached to an old tire casing. Retreads or recaps are rarely used on cars due to safety concerns, as the new tread can separate from the casing when the tire gets hot. Unfortunately, trucking companies often use retreads on truck trailers to save money.
The failure of a retreaded tire on the trailer of an 18-wheeler may not cause the truck driver to lose control of his or vehicle. However, tread separation can put other drivers in harm's way. If you are injured in an accident caused by catastrophic failure of a retreaded tire, both the trucking company and the company that made the retreaded tire may be liable.
