City Retread

The cost of tyres is the second largest overhead in vehicle maintenance. This can have a cascading effect on transportation and the overall economy itself. Retreading not only extends the tyre’s lifespan, but it also saves the planet and saves costs as well. Depending on the condition and age of the casing, commercial vehicle tyres can be retreaded twice or sometimes even thrice.

City Retread is Uganda’s leading tyre retreading company. We specialise in retreading truck tyres, a boon to transporters and fleet owners. We retread all varieties of truck tyres, be it nylon or steel radials. We also repair and retread tyres of saloon cars, 4WDs, OTR vehicles, earthmovers, industrial machinery, and agricultural equipment.

Our ultra-modern plant is located on 6th Street, Industrial Area, where we’re equipped with sophisticated, state-of-the-art truck tyre retread equipment from Italy. This ensures that the quality we deliver meets European and American standards.

Our retreads are constructed using heat and abrasion-resistant, pre-cured rubber made from specifically formulated, high-quality rubber compounds. The retreads are available in a variety of patterns. They offer exceptional road grip and stability and are built to withstand even the harshest driving conditions.

Why City Retread?

  • High mileage (High-quality compounds)
  • Better fuel efficiency

  • Lower operating temperature

Our retreads are extremely affordable and competitive. They can last up to 80% longer than a new tyre while costing only one-third as much. We also offer doorstep pickup and drop services at no additional charge, so our services are closer to you than you’d imagine!
