These specific barricades can be found at the Denver Colosseum. You can find many others around the Denver, Metro area and expanding use around Colorado. What’s unique about these is they are made with 100% recycled tire. They can be made in various colors, they can have logos imprinted on the faces or the top. The company that manufactures these, Pretred, has its operations based in Denver off of Tower Road. Each of these barricades contains approximately 80 tires or more. The company has low speed impact certification for urban area road construction projects, and is working on their high speed certification for use on highway projects. American Tire Exchange, Inc. has worked with one of the principles here for many years, in fact he’s second generation in the TIRE business and I, Chirs, I am a third generation so we’ve crossed paths for quite a long time. Starting second quarter 2026 we hope to expand working with Pretred to divert more waste tires into these useful type of tire derived products as opposed to simply shredding them down to a smaller size to use as a coal alternative called TDF, tire derived fuel; or to be converted into what’s called ADC, alternative daily cover, which would be put down at a landfill at the end of the day to help reduce dust as well as birds coming and trying to dig up the trash in the landfills. Both good uses, but still effectively just burning and burying tires. These barricades are the next evolution of tire recycling in Colorado and we’re glad to be on the front side of it.

With the discontinuation of pennies, we felt it a good time to explain the curious relationship between pennies and tires…have you heard of using a penny to check your tires? Have you wondered why? If you answer yes to either one of those, here is the reason. Using a very accurate tread depth gauge, you can see in picture 2 that Lincoln’s hair is at 2/32”. For decades that has been the threshold that when passed indicates your tires are legally “bald”. Tires have built in indicators called “wear bars” which are raised ribs in the tread groves at 2/32”, however, they are difficult to see at times. Over the last decade some manufactures have stamped tread depth numbers in the tread at the appropriate depth…but again, tough to see. One can, and should have a tread depth gauge as part of their car maintenance kit, but let’s be honest, most people don’t have that or forget what is in it. What you most people have rattling around their pocket, console, cup holder, ash tray..? That’s right, some Lincoln head pennies. While never exact, it’s a good quick way to check your tire’s tread depth. Over the years there have been changes to tread depth laws. Commercial trucks are required to have 4/32” tread on steer (front) tires. Many states charge tread requirements seasonally. Colorado is one of those states. 9/1-5/31 each season all vehicles are required to have 4/32” tread depth in most of the State most of the time. I-70 from about Golden to about Grand Junction the requirement is 6/32”. If weather conditions and road conditions deteriorate then State Patrol can dial up the requirement from 4 up to 6/32” in those impacted areas. Alas, this renders the hair of our 16th president useless and with no more pennies being minted, people will be without a handy point of reference. This means it’s time for a tread depth gauge…or, some of our new business cards with an overview of the Colorado traction law AND a “built in” tread depth gauge. Fits in your wallet, purse, glovebox, or stuck to your refrigerator. When you run out of pennies, or decide to become a collector, come by American Tire Exchange, Inc. and we will check out your tires and show you how to use this gauge.
