Trailers
Hello everyone,
I have a price list for trailers to translate and the term "werkerneuert reifen" does not seem to exist.
I have used "Factory re-treaded tyres", but am no sure if this is right and seeing as there is no other context to help, I just wanted to see if anyone else has any suggestions:
4x 385/65 R22.5 werkerneuert reifen auf Mittelstegfelge 80km/h
Thanks in advance

'retreaded' sounds funny to my 'Merkin ears.

It is a nice safe term: To make clean, bright, or fresh again; renovate.
New tires cost more, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retread
Retreads can add material to an old tire but then they must be tested, too.
Refurbished is usually applied to electronics, but I see no reason you could not use it here.
And, the wiki article uses 'retreaded' several times. I guess a Brit wrote it! :)

Note from asker:
| Thanks, but I am not sure if this could be right. How can you "refurbish" tyres? I am familiar with tyres have "too much" tread so that it can be re-cut when worn - hence retreading - and I am not sure why new tyres are not used in the first place |
Peer comment(s):

Horst Huber (X)
: "Retread" is quite common around here, but it is only part of the "refurbishing".

I have no problem with 'retread' but add the 'ed' at the end and, while legal, just sounds funny.

retreaded
Dear Michael, perhaps the term in German is <rundumerneuert>. Please refer to German link. Imo the term <werk> does not require translation, of this is a list provided by a supplier, it is evident the retreading is carried out/provided for by them.

Richard Stephen
: We always used to say 'recapped' but that appears to be a synonym for 'retreaded'. I think it is almost self-evident that the process is performed at a factory and not in the backyard garage, making a literal translation of 'Werk' superfluous.

Reference:
Retread, Recap, Remould, Remanufactured. What's the Difference?
Over the years the retread tire industry has had its product called a recap, a retread, a remould, or even a remanufactured tire. All these terms are essentially variations on a name.
Is there a difference? Yes and no.
In fact, all the above are different names for a tire that had the old tread removed and new tread applied, or retreaded, the name which is most commonly used and accepted by all segments of the tire industry.
However, when a retreaded tire also has new rubber veneer applied to the sidewall (sometimes called bead-to-bead retreading) it is often called a remoulded or remanufactured tire. The sidewall rubber does add a cosmetic enhancement to the retreaded tire.
Recap is an old fashioned name for a retreaded tire and is seldom used anymore.
The only important thing for the tire buyer to insist on is that the tire has been processed by a reputable retreader and carries a warranty at least as good as a comparable new tire. If this precaution is taken, it doesn't matter what the tire is called: recap, retread, remould, or remanufactured. It will offer better value than a comparable new tire, without any sacrifice to safety or handling.

sorry lost the link to my note - most of the examples come up in connection with printers anyway!
Seems to be pretty much synonymous with runderneuert - see Dunlop pages where both words are used (Werkserneuerte Produkte - Mit Goodyear Dunlop-Runderneuerungslösungen können Flotten und Händler die Lebensdauer unserer Premiumprodukte verlängern.)

: But can you trust a reference that consistently confuses the tyres with the exhaust (tire)?

Discussion
"retreaded" is the commonly used translation. I you know some details about the parts to be renewed, than you can take other term from my reference, too.
Retreaded: a whole new outer layer is vulcanized to the old tyre (CHEAPER than new tyres).
It just so happens something similar was asked just recently in the EN-NL-pair
