A French Tyre Made in Béthune

Black Star has decided to deploy, in Béthune, an integrated ecosystem serving the second life of tyres, on the industrial site of the former manufacturer Bridgestone.

Thus, he benefits from a valuable business opportunity, relying on the enthusiasm of men and women who know the business, the site, and the tool. It is therefore a perfectly balanced relationship that has been established, allowing Black Star to capitalize on real skills while securing jobs that are difficult to relocate (because they are close to the raw material).

Performance comparable
to that of a new tyre

Subject to regulations 108 & 109 (European regulations identical to new tyres) quality and safety remain the cement of the design of Leonard.

The rubber compounds are exclusive and developed in conjunction with rubber professionals. Their extrusion respects precise dimensions in order to guarantee perfect regularity of the circumference of the finished product. A bonding sheet made of natural rubber makes it possible to obtain a resistance to tearing of the new material that is 30 to 80% higher than with the orbitread process, as demonstrated by internal comparative tests and those carried out at the LRCCP.

Before being marketed, 100% of the finished products must pass through the final automated inspection to control the uniformity, the unbalance in addition to the shearographic scanner.

Leonard tyres are subjected to load/speed endurance tests approved by RDW. The imposed endurance tests are strictly identical to those carried out on new tyres.

Below is the result of the measurements of the Leonardtyre (dimension tested 205/55R16 91V) in comparison with premium brand and budget brand tyres (European production) made by UTAC (2023) on the CERAM track (Mortefontaine).
