Here at Tyres.Online we believe that safety is paramount when it comes to purchasing tyres so if you are considering purchasing retreads then you should understand the dangers. We advise not taking this route as it involves putting a new tread over old tyre carcasses, meaning that although the tread is of legal size, the tyre could leave you susceptible to injury.
