Why is the remolded tire reliable in other countries, but faces controversy in Brazil? This happens because all over the world, this item is produced using a carcass of a used tire that has come to an end.

In fact, it is possible to use this carcass in the production of a new tire, but there is a catch. When the housing was produced, it had specific characteristics for a type of use, whether for a sports car, for example, or for a light commercial vehicle.
In other countries, when remolding a tire, it is mandatory to leave the characteristics of the carcass engraved on the side. But in Brazil, Inmetro, for unknown reasons, did not make this requirement. So, here you can put two identical remolded cars in your car, but one carcass was for Porsche, the other for pickup trucks.
