Meet Leader Knoxx: three reasons it’s built to take the knocks 💥

1️⃣ Durable compound: tough industrial rubber that takes knock after knock.
2️⃣ Flex design: the ribbed centre bends to fit curved corners and edges.
3️⃣ Industrial magnets: snaps straight on. Nothing to drill, nothing to bolt.

Designed and manufactured in house by Leader, because our own forklifts needed it first. 🏭

Cheap tyres have one life. Quality casings have two. ♻️🛞

A new peer-reviewed study shows what retreading actually saves. Researchers from the University of Trento, working with Marangoni, compared a new truck tyre with a retreaded one over the full lifecycle. Compared with running new tyres alone, the retreaded tyre showed:

🌍 39% lower climate change impact
💧 61% less water use
⛽ 41% less fossil resource use
⛏️ 40% less mineral and metal use
🛣️ 320,000 km from a single casing (160,000 km new + 160,000 km retreaded)

On average, retreading cut environmental impact by about a third, and it came out lower in every category measured.

Most fleets compare price per tyre. Smart fleets compare cost per kilometre. Give your casings a second life with our fleet favourites, DD1 and MM84.

Not all tyres are built the same.

What looks cheaper upfront can cost you more over the life of the tyre.
The difference is in what’s inside.
A stronger casing means more potential lives, better value and a lower cost per kilometre.

Less energy wasted. More kilometres from every litre.

Rolling resistance is the energy your vehicle needs to overcome as the tyres roll along the road.

At Leader Tread, both compound technology and tread design play a role.
Our low-hysteresis compounds help reduce energy lost as heat, while carefully designed tread patterns help minimise unnecessary tread movement.
That means lower rolling resistance and greater efficiency.

Leader Tread, Leading the way.
