Bandag Retreads Cut your tire costs

Why buy new tires when, for a fraction of the price, you can have quality retreads that deliver long mileage, reliable service, and excellent performance?

The best retreads start with the best casings, and we insist on outstanding casings and the finest casing inspection technology.

• Our Bandag retreads feature popular and longwearing tread patterns that our customers have demanded again and again.
• The B726 (E) and B195 (E) share proven features with the M726 and R195 radials, two of the most successful drive and trailer designs Bridgestone has ever offered.
• We use Bandag’s exclusive ECL tread which is precured with a contour to match the casing’s natural shape. They wrap over the shoulders, to restore new tire geometry and performance. The ECL system increases tread contact with the road with a 14 to 21 percent wider footprint. Add Bandag’s proven tread compound and you have maximum performance for a fraction of the cost of a new tire.

In addition to Bandag’s Limited Warranty, we stand behind every Bandag B726 (E) and B195 (E) retread with a no-hassle 90 Day Customer Satisfaction Guarantee. If, within the first 90 days from purchase, you are not completely satisfied with the performance of your Bandag tire or it fails due to workmanship, we will replace the tire with a like Bandag tire or we’ll allow a credit for the full retail price towards the purchase of a new Bridgestone or Firestone tire. We’ll even throw in the labor to mount the replacement!
