Operators spend the most on fuel and tyres. With the cost of the fuel going up day by day, achieving maximum utilization from tyres is the only option. Regrooving will be best option to them to optimize tyre performance. The regrooving process cuts the worn out tyres with the aid of a special machine in the same fashion as they were originally. The internal layers of the tyre are not affected by this process and no damage is caused to the integrity of the casing. The regrooving process for each tyre costs Rs.475/- only.
Michelin through its research, expertise and technological know-how strives to design tyres that have a minimal impact on the environment while making no concessions to safety. Regrooving a tyre multiplies its service life enabling tyre mileage performance to be increased without having to change the tyre. Thus, tyres are reused optimally, which in turn conserves oil and limits consumption of earth's natural resources. It is one way to help preserve and sustain the environment.
