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.

You wouldn't throw money away. So why do fleets throw away their casings? 🛞

Every used truck casing still holds value, and the better the casing, the more lives it has:

✅ Premium (A): worth R800 to R900, retreads 2 to 3 times
✅ Mid range (B): worth R500 to R600, retreads once
❌ Cheap imports (C): worth R250 to R350, zero retreads, straight to landfill

Choosing a quality casing isn't just cheaper per kilometre. It keeps the circular economy turning. Good for your fleet, good for your retreading factory, good for the planet.

The latest issue of Retreading Business is available now.

This edition features an exclusive interview with Lina Goodman, CEO of Tyre Stewardship Australia (TSA), discussing why retreading remains a vital part of a sustainable tyre industry. We also thank industry legend Leo Linkesch as he retires after decades of contributing to the sector.

🚛 The retread didn't fail. The casing did.

Imagine investing in a retread... only for the tyre to be rejected before it ever hits the road.

Across the industry, poor-quality casings are creating unnecessary waste, increasing costs, and reducing the true value of retreading.

A quality retread starts with a quality casing. That's why the tyre you buy today determines the kilometres you'll get tomorrow.

Don't buy on price alone.
Buy for Cost Per Kilometre.

💬 Have you noticed a difference in casing quality over the past few years? We'd love to hear your experience.

The cheapest casing is often the most expensive decision.

A low-quality casing might save you money today… but it could cost you thousands in lost retread life, higher cost per kilometre, and reduced reliability.

Invest in a quality casing, and you're investing in multiple lives, better performance, and lower long-term operating costs.

Retreading starts with the right foundation.
