Force and Moment Testing

Smithers can provide force and moment data for passenger, light truck, and racing tires over operating ranges from parking lot speeds to the limit of the V-speed rating. Tires can be tested at loads up to 5,500 lb. (25 k-N) as a function of load, slip angle, inclination angle, speed, and driving/braking torque.

Indoor Tire Test Smithers provides computer-controlled testing of
automobile, truck, and racing tires at very high speeds.
