Winter Tyres tested
We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again and again: If you live in a state that experiences winter, you should invest in a good set of Snow Tyres tested. Yes, even if you’ve been …
This is a great article
That shows the length that tyre companies take to test their tyre products before they are released to the public for road use.
This particular article is about .
the new tyres tested by Hankook Tyres. The same also applies to other tyre companies, which rigorously test their tyre products in real-world conditions, taking the cars to their extreme limits.
I am lucky enough to experience such extreme testing conditions. I was fortunate enough to be invited to the Austrian Alps to witness winter tyres tested, at first hand.
The company was not Hankook,
but one of the worlds top winter tyre producers, Apollo-Vredestein.
The winter tyres tested were new winter tyres to sell to the SUV winter market.
I was in a group made up from other independent tyre dealers from across the UK. We were all allocated to an SUV vehicle that were fitted out with the new tyres. The drivers were all test drivers from the world of motorsport. These drivers took the vehicles up the Austrian Alps and the new winter tyres were put through their paces.
We drove on snow and ice,
and I must admit to having been a little frightened by the extreme conditions in which these vehicles were driven. In fact, I was glad when the thing finished and we got back to the hotel in one piece?
It was a great experience and showed that the winter tyres tested were put through their extreme paces.
This winter, we have decided to stock
some Apollo/Vredestein winter tyres, along with the excellent Yokohama winter tyres.
