Snow, ice and slush

Testing on ice and snow requires special expertise, because even the slightest change in the conditions produces variation and unreliability in the results. The uniform quality of test tracks is an absolute prerequisite for reliable results. What is equally vital is knowing how to make measurements, having skilled test drivers and performing appropriate statistical processing of the results to rectify the systematic differences caused by changes in the conditions.

Our speciality is testing in set conditions – at specific temperatures or on specific surfaces according to client specifications, whether they are smooth ice, ice of different grades of roughness, or snow of specific hardness. We can also conduct tests in deep snow.

Slush planing is the most hazardous driving condition you can come across while on the road. The test method that we have developed allows us to reliably measure the traction of tyres in slush.

Wet and dry

Our testing services include all standard tests on dry and wet asphalt – for both winter and summer tyres. Our location in the north also allows us to test winter tyres on wet and dry surfaces in the summer, at cool temperatures that suit winter tyres.

Our services include grip and handling tests performed by our experienced and professional test drivers and engineers.

Full range of tests

Our test selection is wide, including all the essential winter and summer tyre tests that the industry R&D and magazines employ. Apart from the measurement technology, we provide professional and experienced personnel, including measurement engineers and drivers for the handling tests.

A test project can be composed freely of a variety of individual tests.
