Founded in 1957 in Muscatine, Iowa, Bandag became the most well-known tire retreading company, and late in 2006 was acquired by Bridgestone Americas. Retreading is the process of replacing the tread on worn but still viable tire carcasses and is widely used by the commercial trucking industry. 

Produced in 2012 by Bridgestone Commercial, the Video of the Day shows the retreading process.
