…as well as a chance to get some experience in wet braking and emergency lane changes. Students will also have the opportunity to get behind the wheel of a Honda skid car which simulates driving in wet or icy conditions. If you miss out on this event, Tire Rack also sponsors Street Survival.
…tread design pattern. The inside of the pattern is optimized for wet traction and wet traction channels were developed with 3D computer simulations for hydroplaning resistance. Asymmetric patterns can cause some questions for some customers due to the shape of their water channels, however…
…we don't even wait for it to snow! We Test on the Ice Before it Snows! For a number of years a hockey rink has been used to provide the ultimate simulation of the icy road conditions that we'll face later in winter. By conducting acceleration, braking and cornering tests on the ice we've confirmed…
…and wheels installed, it’s time to find out how much quicker around our test track this combination is versus the O.E. tires and wheels. To simulate the total lap time of a typical national level autocross event, we combined 2 flying laps of our standard test course. First setting a baseline…
…traction aids engaged to center ice. Then the brakes are slammed on, fully activating ABS to a complete stop. We also took the Cayennes through a simulated corner. You can review the full test methodology by reading, "Studless Ice and Snow Winter Tires: Finding Which is Best When Winter Weather…
…the opportunity to drive a skid car at the Mid-Ohio Driving School. It is seriously tricky. The car simulates loss of traction on any specific corner of the vehicle the instructor wants, and simulates a much faster speed than you are actually going. It gave us a good picture of this scenario. Any…
…to feel more of how each tire is performing. As you can see in the video, we test tires in both dry conditions and also wet conditions that can simulate a typical rain shower thanks to a large sprinkling system. All of our test drivers, including myself, also provide subjective feedback over dozens…
…area. For consistency, our snow testing is done at a dedicated winter test facility in Sweden, and ice testing is done at a local hockey rink to simulate the glare ice often found at intersections and in other high-traffic areas. We also measured each tire's ability to accelerate and brake in…
…8-lug configurations for both single rear wheel and dually trucks. WORX 802 Havoc and 805 Tyrant wheels have a rugged off-road appearance with a simulated bead-lock look. The WORX 803 Beast has a more classic and clean looking design with six-split spokes. To see which WORX wheels are available for…
…The Bridgestone gives a better overall performance feel and traction in both the wet and dry, especially in the track events which are designed to simulate emergency maneuvers. In an earlier test, we noted we'd like to see an improvement in winter conditions where the Bridgestone was concerned.…
…available in both machined with black accent and sliver machined with clearcoat, four spoke finishes with a polished lip. Apache II wheels feature simulated assembly bolts to give the illusion of a multi-piece wheel but with a more cost-effective, one-piece design. Be sure to check out all the…
…ride of the group and proved to be the best tire we tested in wet conditions on our track - where 90-degree street corners, lane changes and simulated expressway ramps test tires at their limit. View Tire Test Results. "This tire works well in all conditions and the treadwear life is…
…/ snow tires. Earlier this year, we were able to preview this tire in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Tests were done on an indoor ice rink to simulate glare ice, and we also took to the track at Bridgestone's Winter Driving School. The track itself isn't flat, and they've covered it with a layer…
…deep snow and ice traction. High-Tech Winter Traction (Studless Ice and Snow): Studded winter tires aren't legal on all streets, but these tires simulate their ability to enhance traction in snow and on ice. Traditional Winter Traction (Studdable Winter / Snow): If metal studs are allowed on your…
