Here’s how the point totals are calculated :
Each April, Modern Tire Dealer ranks the “Top 100 Retreaders in the U.S.” based on the average amount of tread rubber used to retread
different types of tires. Twelve pounds of rubber, on average, are used to produce one light truck tire retread, while 24 pounds are used to
produce one medium/heavy truck tire retread. An average of 325 pounds is used to build one OTR tire retread. MTD awards one point for
every seven pounds of rubber used per retread. Each light truck tire retread equals 1.7 points, each truck tire retread equals 3.5 points,
and each OTR tire retread equals 46 points. Numbers are rounded to the nearest point.
The “Top Retreaders” list was started in 1988, when the top 10 retreaders were: Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., ABC Treadco Inc., ProTread Corp., Les Schwab Tire Centers, Edward-Warren Tire Co., Northwest Retreaders Inc., Ray Carr Tires, Radar Tire Inc., Purcell Tire &
Rubber and McGriff Treading Co. (* estimated; N/A = not available.)
