 RETREADING & REGROOVING
Retreading
Apollo Truck & Bus Radial tires are a premium engineered product, possessing the inherent casing strength
required to ensure multiple retread lives. Depending upon the application, our products are designed and
manufactured to endure multi-million flex cycles without any fatigue failure.

With the foundation of our strong casing construction, along with our tires capability to demonstrate its
durability throughout its service life, make it the tire of choice where multiple retreads are desired.

REGROOVING GUIDELINES
Subject to usage conditions and regular tire maintenance. Apollo’s highly durable casings can provide multiple
tire lives. Regrooving and retreading ensures longer serviceability of tires, and helps Apollo Tyres customers to
lower their operating costs.
• Regrooving is done on either new or retreaded tire on which the tread pattern has been renewed by cutting
into the tread deeper than the original moulded groove depth.

• The regrooving of truck tires should be entrusted solely to fully trained operators.

• Only genuine certified regrooving tools with electrically heated blades should be used.

• A minimum depth of 2/32” remaining undertread rubber is essential to avoid damage at the top breaker belt.

• Particular care should be taken while selecting tires for regrooving and if heavily damaged in the tread area,
the tires should be retreaded instead of regrooved.

• Under no circumstances should a tire be regrooved if it is not marked as “regroovable” on the sidewall area
by the tire manufacturer.

DISCLAIMER
This warranty, or any warranty is exclusive and in lieu of any other warranty related to the quality and performance of
Apollo tires, whether expressed or implied and remedies for breach thereof shall be limited to those specifically
provided herein. Any warranty of merchantability of fitness for any particular purpose, if made, is limited in duration to
the effective time period of this limited warranty.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Any tire, regardless of how well it is designed or manufactured, may fail prematurely as a result of punctures, impact
related damage, improper inflation pressure, overloading, or any other operationally induced conditions than could be
related to abuse. Tire failure could result in a risk of property damage or possibly serious personal injury, and even
death.

SAFETY WARNING
Serious personal injury or death may possibly result from a tire failure. Tire failures are in many cases prECEded by
vibration, sidewall bulges, or irregular wear. If a vibration is felt while driving your vehicle or you observe a sidewall
bulge or irregular tread wear pattern, immediately take the affected tire to your nearest qualified tire professional for a
complete technical evaluation and report.

TIRE INFLATION
The U.S. Department of Transportation stipulates that a pre-trip vehicle inspection shall be done. Pre-trip vehicle
inspections should include cold-tire inflation pressure checks. Remember to check the inflation pressure of inside
fitted dual tires. Make sure that the correct valve extensions and brackets are fitted to your tire & rim assembly.
The only correct method for checking tire inflation pressure is by making use of an accurate tire inflation pressure
gauge. Kicking or prodding a tire will only indicate to you that a tire is completely flat.
Check inflation pressure on “Cold” tires. Tires are considered as “Cold” if the vehicle has been parked up for three
hours or more in a shaded area, or if the vehicle has been driven for less than one mile, and this at a moderate speed.
Never release pressure from a hot tire in order to reach the recommended cold tire inflation pressure. Normal driving
causes tires to run hotter, therefore increasing your tires inflation pressure. If you reduce inflation pressure when your
tires are hot, you will run the risk of operating your tires in an under-inflated state.
Should it be required to adjust inflation pressure when your tires are hot, adjust their inflation pressure to 10 psi
(69 kPa) above the recommended cold inflation pressure. Make sure to recheck the inflation pressure when the tires
are cold.
A pressure difference of 5 psi (35 kPa) or more between dual fitted tires is not recommended.

Use the correct type of valve caps in order to keep the valve core clear of dust/debris.

SAFETY WARNING
Inflating an unsecured tire is extremely dangerous. If it were to explode, it could be hurled into the air with a massive
explosive force. If struck by this tire and/or rim assembly, it could result in serious personal injury or death.
NEVER adjust the inflation pressure of a tire unless it is placed in a tire safety cage, secured to a vehicle, or fixed to
• 
a tire mounting machine.
NEVER stand or lean over the tire or front of the valve while inflation adjustment is taking place.
• 
NEVER re-inflate a truck tire that has been operated continuously and for an extended period of time at a very low
• 
inflation pressure (i.e. 80% or less of the normal operating pressure) without first having carried out a complete
inspection of the entire tire. This should be done by a certified tire service professional.

TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE

All tires are required to have the specified inflation pressure that will allow them to operate effectively and perform as
intended. A tire offers support to the vehicle and its passengers/loads, while transmitting the braking, acceleration and
turning forces. Vehicle manufacturers will recommend the inflation pressures for the tires mounted on your vehicle.

SAFETY WARNING
Operating a tire in an under-inflated / improper inflation pressure condition is dangerous.
• Under-inflation will result in excessive tire heat build-up, which when used over an extended period of time, will
result in structural damage.
• Over-inflation will result in the tire been more susceptible to cuts, punctures, and impact/road hazard related
breaks.
The above-mentioned conditions can cause a tire to fail, which could possibly lead to serious personal injury or death.
For the specified tire operating inflation pressure, please consult your vehicle tire information placard / owner’s
manual.
In addition to the damage caused to the tire, incorrect inflation pressure could also lead to the following:
• Irregular/rapid/reduced tire wear.
• Affect fuel economy.
• Adversely affect vehicle ride & handling.

TIRE REPAIRS
SAFETY WARNING
Driving on an incorrectly/poorly repaired tire is dangerous. An incorrect/poor repair can be unreliable or can result in
further damage been caused to the tire. Sudden and/or dramatic tire failure could occur, resulting in serious personal
injury or death. A detailed inspection and subsequent repair of your tire that is carried out in accordance to the Rubber
Manufacturers Association (RMA) procedures should only be conducted by a qualified tire service professional.

TIRE DEMOUNTING & MOUNTING

THIS POLICY IS NOT INTENDED TO PROVIDE PROPER TRAINING OR SERVICE PROCEDURES FOR TIRE
MOUNTING, DEMOUNTING, BALANCING, ROTATION, OR REPAIR. THESE TASKS SHOULD ONLY AND ALWAYS
BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED TIRE SERVICE PROFESSIONALS.
Only specially trained persons should mount tires. For specified tire mounting procedures, consult the requirements in
accordance to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

TRUCK TIRE HOT BRANDING

The following limits are recommended when branding Apollo Truck & Bus Radial tires using a hand held branding tool.

Branding Tool Temperature Maximum Depth

480 Deg F (250 Deg C) 1/32 inch (0.8mm)
570 Deg F (300 Deg C) 1/64 inch (0.4mm)
ONLY brand in the designated “BRAND TIRE HERE” area.

31
 SAFETY WARNING
Mounting and demounting of tire and/or rim assemblies can be dangerous. Attempting to demount or mount tires
using the incorrect equipment or procedures may result in a tire explosion causing serious personal injury or death.
This is a job for a qualified tire service professional only. Never carry out tire service procedures without the correct
signed off training, and equipment.

Inflating an unsecured tire is dangerous. If the tire were to explode, it could be hurled into the air with explosive force
resulting in serious personal injury or death.
• ALWAYS stand well clear of any tire mounting operation. This is particularly important when the operator inflates
the tire.
• When inflating a tire after mounting it onto a rim, ALWAYS use a tire safety cage and an extension air-hose fitted
with an accurate pressure gauge and clip-on connecter.
NEVER adjust the inflation pressure of a truck tire unless it is placed in a safety cage or is secured to the vehicle or
• 
a tire mounting equipment.
• NEVER stand or lean over the tire or in front of the valve when inflating.

TIRE MIS-MATCHING
SAFETY WARNING
Operating your vehicle with the incorrect combination of tires is dangerous. Your vehicle’s handling characteristics
could be adversely affected which could result in an accident and/or serious personal injury or death. Consult your
vehicle owner’s manual and a qualified tire service professional for the correctly specified tire.

DUAL TIRE MATCHING

Tires paired as a dual assembly should be matched up by tire construction and dimension. For truck radial tires,
correctly paired dimension tolerances are as follows:
• Diameter: within 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) of each other.
• Circumference: within 3/4 inch (19 mm) of each other.

SAFETY WARNING
Improperly matched tires may result in irregular wear, rapid wear, and ultimately premature tire removal or failure.
Failure to match tires in a dual assembly could when operated over an extended period of time also result in sudden/
catastrophic tire failure.

HIGH SPEED DRIVING

Driving at high speeds, even with the correct inflation pressure can lead to a loss of a vehicle control, regardless of the
speed and handling capabilities of the vehicle. For example, high speed driving is especially dangerous because a road
hazard is more difficult to avoid at a high speed, and if impacted, has a greater chance of causing tire damage than at
lower speeds. Please refer to the specified load and speed index as indicated on the tire sidewall.

SAFETY WARNING
Driving at high speed is dangerous and can cause a vehicle accident, including serious personal injury or death.

32
TIRE STORAGE
When tires sit outdoors, unused for long periods of time, their surfaces become dry and more susceptible to ozone and
weather checking/cracking, which can lead to serious problems to the inner liner and casing plies. Thus, tires should
always be stored in a cool, dry place where water cannot collect inside them. Tires should be stored away from
sources of heat and in a clean environment free from grease, petroleum, gasoline, and other substances that can
deteriorate the rubber.

SAFETY WARNING
Improper storage can damage your tires in ways that may not be visible that can result in premature aging of the tires
and lead to sudden tire failure.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNING

Tire failure due to under inflation/overloading or misapplication is dangerous and may result in serious injury – follow
owner’s manual or the tire placard in vehicle. It is recommended to frequently check inflation pressure with an
accurate gauge. Only specially trained person should mount tires – when mounting, use safety cage and clip on
extension air hose to inflate.

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations, 49 C.F.R. § 393.75(d), specify that:

• No motor vehicle shall be operated on any tire that—
1. Has body ply or belt material exposed through the tread or sidewall,
2. Has any tread or sidewall separation,
3. Is flat or has an audible leak, or
4. Has a cut to the extent that the ply or belt material is exposed.
• Any tire on the front wheels of a bus, truck, or truck tractor shall have a tread groove pattern depth of at least 4⁄32
of an inch when measured at any point on a major tread groove. All other tires shall have a tread groove pattern
depth of at least 2⁄32 of an inch when measured in a major tread groove. The measurements shall not be made
where tie bars, humps, or fillets are located.
• No bus shall be operated with regrooved, recapped or retreaded tires on the front wheels.
• A regrooved tire with a load-carrying capacity equal to or greater than 2.232 kg (4.920 pounds) shall not be used on
the front wheels of any truck or truck tractor.
• No motor vehicle may be operated with speed-restricted tires labelled with a maximum speed of 55 mph or less in
accordance with S6.5(e) of FMVSS No. 119 at speeds that exceed the rated limit of the tire.
