Hi, everyone!

I am in the middle of some texts about tyre recyling, and would like to know if any of you has any idea if there is any translation in Spanish for the following term within its context. Thanks in advance!

The part-worn tyre is a tyre, which is reusable, as a second-hand purchase or re-usable after reprocessing (retreading). It can be reused as it is for its original purpose when a residual tread depth remains. In general it is not possible to specify a minimum tread depth, which would be valid for all types of tyres. Different minimum legal remaining tread depths are set in different countries. Within the EU it can be referred the Council Directive 89/459/EEC relating to the tread depth of tyres of certain categories of motor vehicles and their trailers.
Otherwise it can be reprocessed under a procedure whereby new tread is vulcanised on-to the casing and it becomes a retreaded tyre.

neumáticos semiusados

Explanation:
Perdón por la anterior, semiusados se usa más. Si se quisieran vender se diría 'seminuevos', cosas del marketing.
