Tyre Testing
WHAT IS TYRE TESTING?
Measuring tyres is usually performed at proving grounds and tyre testing and assessment services include tests for rolling resistance, energy efficiency, rolling noise and road performance (e.g. braking, handling) on various surface conditions.
These tests are important for manufacturers to ensure compliance to stringent quality and safety requirements of their tyres. Following the introduction of tyre labels, new regulations now enforce this additional requirement.
As today’s consumers have become more knowledgeable about tyre safety and efficiency the tyre label makes it easy for customers to compare tyres in terms of wet grip, fuel efficiency and noise.
