Summary:ABSTRACT In this study, a compound was developed for Truck, Bus, and Radial (TBR) tire retreading that provides fuel efficiency, low rolling resistance, and low carbon emissions. Choosing tire retreading over new tire production results in material savings and a 56% reduction in crude oil consumption. In trials, the carbon black ratio was reduced from 33% to 3.5%, and the use of highly dispersible silica (HDS) improved physical properties. After 6 months of field tests, it was observed that green tire retreading achieved approximately 4% fuel savings and reduced carbon emissions.
