Twelve pounds of rubber, on average, are used to produce one light truck tire retread, while 24 pounds are used to produce one medium/heavy truck tire retread. An average of 325 pounds is used to build one OTR tire retread. MTD awards one point for every seven pounds of rubber used per retread. Each light truck tire retread equals 1.7 points, each truck tire retread equals 3.5 points, and each OTR tire retread equals 46 points. The point total does not include industrial tires. Numbers are rounded to the nearest point. The "Top Retreaders" list was started in 1988, when the top 10 retreaders were: Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., ABC Treadco Inc., Pro-Tread Corp., Les Schwab Tire Centers, Edward-Warren Tire Co., Northwest Retreaders Inc., Ray Carr Tires, Radar Tire Inc., Purcell Tire & Rubber and McGriff Treading Co. (* estimated. N/A = not available. ** does not include Belleroc Tire Services, a joint venture between Tredroc Tire Services and Belle Tire Distributors.)
