Discover the XBRI innovation for tire retreading that promises greater durability and efficiency for truck and bus fleets
A XBRI Tires, a renowned Brazilian brand in the tire sector, announced the expansion of its portfolio with the launch of tire retread bands load. The new product arrives on the market in response to the increased demand for innovative solutions in the tire sector.
According to Samer Nasser, Director of Institutional Relations at XBRI Pneus, “retreading is a strategic solution for Brazilian transporters, and we believe that our bands will meet the growing demand for economical and efficient options".
Strategic partnership with Moreflex
The new product line is the result of a partnership with Moreflex, a renowned manufacturer in the retreading market, with over 30 years of experience. The production of the retreading bands will be carried out in Portão, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. This partnership aims to bring high-performance products to meet the specific needs of the Brazilian market.

Cost reduction for carriers
Tire costs represent the second largest operational expense for Brazilian transporters, behind only diesel. Rapid tire deterioration is a constant challenge for truck drivers and transporters.
With this in mind, XBRI Pneus launched models such as Curve Plus F1 and Forza Plus F1, which offer superior performance and cost reduction, standing out as an economical alternative for the sector.
According to Nasser, many truck and bus owners prefer to purchase tires with quality casings, with the intention of retreading them in the future, opting for retread bands from the same brand.
Diversification with own brand of lubricants
Another highlight of XBRI Pneus was the launch, in July of this year, of its own line of lubricants. The new line serves a variety of vehicles and follows strict market guidelines, both nationally and internationally.
XBRI lubricants are certified by important institutions, such as ANP (National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels), API (American Petroleum Institute), ACEA (Driving Mobility for Europe), JASO (Japanese Automotive Standards Organization) and SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers).
Retreading: Economy and sustainability
Experts point out that retreading is an economical and sustainable alternative. Retreading a tire costs about a third of the price of a new tire and offers the same mileage, using only 20% of the materials needed to produce a new tire.
This process, in addition to reducing costs for transporters, contributes to the sustainability of the sector by minimizing waste of materials and the emission of waste.
Anésio M. Robert, Marketing Director at Moreflex, emphasizes the importance of rigorous maintenance to ensure the quality of retreaded tires. “Transporters opt for robust tires that are designed to withstand the harsh conditions of Brazilian roads and that can withstand multiple retreads. This allows them to effectively reduce the cost per kilometer driven,” he explains.
