By recapping a tire, its life is doubled and itâs not taking up space in a landfill. One of the biggest advantages of buying recaps is the cost. A recap is usually priced Â½ to 2/3 the price of a brand new tire, and when youâre replacing several tires, that can be quite a bit of savings. There have been several studies done in different states on the safety of recapped tires.
1 In steel-belted radial tires, belts made from steel are used to reinforce the area under the tread. 2  These belts provide puncture resistance and help the tire stay flat so that it makes the best contact with the road. 3  Some tires have cap plies, an extra layer or two of polyester fabric to help hold everything in place. The tread is made from a mixture of many different kinds of natural and synthetic rubbers. 2  The tread and the sidewalls are extruded and cut to length. 3  The tread is just smooth rubber at this point; it does not have the tread patterns that give the tire traction.
