Vaculug Launches World’s first A-Rated Retread Tyre
UK retreader Vaculug has announced the launch what it says is the World’s first “A” rated retread tyre. The latest addition to Vaculug’s portfolio of retreaded tyres is the
KT01, which has
just returned from
the Idiada proving
ground in Spain. The
KT01 was verified to
have a lower
coefficient of rolling
resistance than is
required for a new
“A” rated tyre.
The KT01, part of
Vaculug’s fuel saver
Kinetik range, was
put to the test on
what is considered
to be the best
proving ground in
Europe. The KT01
was rated on its fuel
efficiency by a major
new tyre
manufacturer prior
to its test result
being confirmed by
Idiada.
Vaculug commented, “we are excited to say that the World's first and only "A" rated retreaded tyre has been developed by a British company in the UK. This tyre was fully developed by our internal R& D team in Grantham. We set a
goal of developing a retread that was as good as the best fuel- efficient new tyres on the market and we're proud to say that we have beaten this
milestone.”
By integrating a special blend of silica in the tread, Vaculug has succeeded in pushing the limits of rolling resistance to save on fuel, without compromising the tyres’ longevity.
