Each April, Modern Tire Dealer ranks the “Top Retreaders in the U.S.” based on the average amount of tread rubber used to retread different types of tires. Twelve pounds of rubber, on average, are used to produce one light truck tire retread, while 24 pounds are used to produce one medium/heavy truck tire retread. An average of 324 pounds is used to build one OTR tire retread. MTD awards one point for every seven pounds of rubber used per retread. Each light truck tire retread equals 1.7 points, each truck tire retread equals 3.5 points, and each OTR retread equals 46 points. The point total does not include industrial tires. Numbers are rounded to the nearest point.

The internet is the number one way that people find out about new products and services. Billions of people perform Google searches every day to find answers to their questions or solutions to their problems. Did you know that 88% of consumers research a product or service before they purchase? This is just one reason why it is so crucial to have a high-quality, effective website. While building your own website has become increasingly simple and inexpensive, there are many aspects to take into consideration. The most important to remember is your website is often the first impression a potential customer has of your business. It needs to load quickly, be easy to navigate, and provide visitors solutions to their problems.

Every year Modern Tire Dealer publishes its rankings of the Top 25 Independent Commercial Tire Dealers in the United States. We are proud to serve 12 dealers named to this year’s list. To be ranked, a dealer must sell truck tires, have at least one retreading plant and offer 24/7 road service.
