Fountain Tire | Retreads

by Robert Green on October 5, 2013

As a network of local storeowners, Fountain Tire aims at delivering innovative and environmentally sustainable business solutions. One of the ways in which Fountain Tire is committed to providing you with sustainable and cost-effective options is with tire retreads. Retreads work great in line haul applications. Fountain Tire Quesnel sees many line haul drivers passing through the Cariboo Regional District and our location along Two Mile Flat on Highway 97 in Quesnel is easily accessible for truck and trailer drivers to pull on and off the highway. As leaders in commercial fleet, with trained tire, truck and automotive technicians, we hold a desire to satisfy customer needs with integrity.

Environmentally Responsible

Through “Go Green” initiatives, Fountain Tire is able to push the bar higher in environmental responsibility. One of these initiatives is retreads, the process of putting a new tread on a tire that has worn down and can no longer be used. In North America, the use of retreads saves over 1.8 billion litres of oil every year that would have gone into the manufacturing of new tires. Retreading is a cost-efficient alternative to buying new tires as it salvages an existing tire casing and applies a new tread. Tires are a big investment, and that is why Fountain Tire is committed to continuously improving the quality and strength of its retreads.

Retreads Save You Money

Many of our fleet customers in the Quesnel, Williams Lake, and Prince George areas with trucks in the mixed service application are able to reuse the casing at savings of ⅓ to ½ the price of the original cost.  Each tire casing is able to live through three or four retreads providing that your casing isn’t stone drilled too far or too old. Retreads allow you to maximize the life of your tires and save in the process. G-Tracs is an available sophisticated system that tracks the each tire from the time it is first retreaded to when it is taken out of service, offering up to date information on which tires provide the lowest cost per kilometer.

Retread Quality & Warranty

Through a close relationship with Goodyear, Fountain Tire is able to offer retreading in designs that are identical to the original tire designs. Goodyear is the only manufacturer worldwide that is able to produce a retread program that copies the exact tire design that was on the tires when it was purchased. The result is a consistency in high mileage and service from original tires to retreads. These tires are backed by Fountain Tire retread policy warranty, in the event of premature failure.

Take your tire needs to Fountain Tire in Quesnel and ask to speak with the Store Manager, Robert Green. Fountain Tire as a company has worked to satisfy its loyal customers for 60 years. Each associate in the retreads centre has been formally trained, as set out in the Goodyear Authorized Retread Process, to assure you are getting quality service and safety you can rely on. Increase your efficiency and span out the life of your tires with retreads.
