Have you ever thought about the amount of resources it takes to produce a new tyre? Thus all the process will save a good amount of energy and oil. Colway Tyres also have taken a pro-active approach to the environment in recent years with the IWS to remanufacture any scraps left over from the retreading process into carpet underlay.
