Lower Waste, Lower Emissions, Better Tomorrow

Fountain Tire is committed to making our business more environmentally friendly. From reducing greenhouse gas emissions to making sure our tires are recycled, our business strives to be better each and every day.

Recycling Options For Every Tire

Our goal is to ensure 100% of the tires we remove are recyclable.

Our recycled tires can be used in different ways. They can be put back into the materials of new tires and retreads, shoe souls, rubber modified asphalt, drainage material for municipal landfills, rubber playground surfaces, rubber mulch, sidewalk blocks, matting products, roof tiles, and much more.

Maximize Tire Life For Customers

Extending the life of the tires we sell helps to reduce our impact on the environment.

A single retread plant can save over 2 million litres of oil every year in producing retread tires versus the production of new tires. With four retread plants, our retread tire solution allows customers to reduce their environmental footprint, while saving money.

We’re proud to offer customers other advanced solutions to extend the life of their tires, such as TPMS Plus which uses proprietary algorithms and predictive analytics.

Reduced emissions through proper alignment

At Fountain Tire, our goal is to ensure 100% of the vehicles we own have properly aligned wheels. This contributes to helping the environment and provides the following benefits.

  • Extend tire life which lowers the carbon footprint of the vehicle.
  • Use less fuel and reduce emissions.
  • Ensure Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), continue to work safely as the factory intended.

Proper wheel alignment maximizes fuel economy. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, vehicles with wheel alignment conditions can experience a decrease in fuel efficiency by up to 7%.
