Purcell Tire

The power of the green initiative. Do Retreading cuts back on oil, controls the landfills, saves energy, and reduces CO2 and other carbon emissions. So let's break that down. The manufacture of a new truck tire requires approximately 22 gallons of oil, but it only takes 7 gallons of oil to retread that tire. And with an estimated 24 million retread tires sold every year, retread tires save on average 360 million gallons of oil per year. So what about the landfills? Millions of tires that would end up in tire piles or in landfills continue their useful lives for thousands of miles. And how about saving energy? It requires 68% less energy to produce a retread versus a new tire. One retreaded truck tire saves enough energy to power an average U. S. home for 33 days. Let's reduce CO2. Because producing retreads uses less energy, CO2 and other carbon emissions are reduced. Reducing CO2 comes with many benefits. It can improve overall air quality, it allows for healt So let's play our part in helping the planet.
