Cost Saving

Regrooving, along with retreading, can result in significant cost savings over the life of the tyre. The following scenarios show the large positive impact on total cost per kilometer when a complete life-cycle program is implemented by a fleet.

Scenario 1 : New Tyre Only (One Life)

Segments most involved

Michelin  New Tyre

For example, you pay $500 your new tyre, it lasts 100.000 km.
Your cost per tyre per 1000 km is $5

Scenario 2 : One Regroove and One Retread

Segments most involved

Michelin New Tyre+ Regroove+ Retread

For example, you pay 300 $ your new tyre, it lasts 200.000 km, you pay 15$ for regrooving service & 150$ for retreading service.
You will pay in total 465$ for estimated 430.000 km. So your total cost per tyre per 1000 km is 1.081 $.
You save 28% compare to scenario 1 (new tyre only - one life).

* Regrooving should be done when the tread has worn down to 2-3mm based on Michelin instructions.

For example, you pay $500 your new tyre, it lasts 100.000 km, you pay $35 for regrooving service & $175 for retreading service.
You will pay in total $710 for estimated 215,000 km. So your total cost per tyre per 1000 km is $3.30.
You save 34% compare to scenario 1 (new tyre only - one life)

Scenario 3 : One Regroove and Two Michelin Retreads

Segments most involved

Michelin  New Tyre+ Regroove+ 2Retreads

For example, you pay $500 your new tyre, it lasts 100.000 km, you pay $35 for regrooving service & $175 for retreading service.
You will pay in total $710 for estimated 215,000 km. So your total cost per tyre per 1000 km is $3.30.
You save 34% compare to scenario 1 (new tyre only - one life)

Scenario 4 : Two Retreads

Segments most involved

Michelin  New Tyre+ 2Retreads

For example, you pay $500 your new tyre, it lasts 100.000 km, you pay $175 for each retread tyre.
You will pay in total $850 for estimated 280.000 km. So your total cost per tyre per 1000km is $3.04 .
