The life of a tire can be materially extended by either recapping or retreading. Recapping means adding a top strip (called camelback) of synthetic or reclaimed rubber to the buffed and roughened surface of a worn tire. Retreading means adding full width new rubber to the worn tire.

OBS

The terms ["recapping" and "retreading"] are used rather loosely and interchangeably in the tire industry, but a retread is ordinarily a better and more thorough job since new rubber is bonded to the tire from one shoulder to the other.
