Wilson County Tire holds official opening of Marangoni Ringtread facility
July 29, 2014
Wilson County Tire and Retreading held an open house last week to celebrating its expanded operation, which now includes a Marangoni Ringtread retreading facility.
The open house featured a plant tour, Spot the Retread contest and an Out of Service tire demonstration. Guests were also provided lunch and could enter a drawing for the chance to win a set of eight commercial truck tires or four super singles to be retreaded using the Ringtread (The splice-less retread) system on the winner’s own casings.
Visitors tested their knowledge and skills when they tried to spot the difference between a tire that had been retreaded using the Ringtread system verses a new tire. Contestants identified the Ringtread 70% of the time as the new tire, said Marangoni.
Marangoni and Wilson County Tire associates guided guests on a step-by-step tour that explained the process of creating a retreaded tire from delivery to finish using the Ringtread system. Each station provided additional video demonstrations along with explanations from guides.
Wilson County Tire & Retreading also offers a mounted-wheel program, drive-up service and pickup and delivery.
