retreaded
Given new treads
Retreaded describes a tire that has had new tread applied to its worn surface, extending its usable life.
Figuratively, retreaded means recycled or refurbished—often dismissively: The sequel was just a retreaded version of the original.
As a noun, a retread is such a tire, or a person brought back from retirement or reassigned: The department hired retreads from the private sector.
