Tyre Manufacturers, Distributors & Importers
Understanding the performance of tyres is critical in determining their influence on the ride, handling & safety of cars, commercial vehicles & aeroplanes. Steering, acceleration & braking actions are transmitted to the road through the tyres in quite often adverse conditions. Ultimately they are the means by which a vehicle remains controllable & are the only point of contact with the ground.
Smithers Rapra recognises the importance & legislative demands for accurate tyre testing & assists businesses & individuals to understand tyre construction, material selection & lifetime expectations. Extensive physical testing is supported by compound development, analysis & a full failure analysis service.
In depth information is available from a wide range of publications & journals. Smithers Rapra has developed a range of courses & conferences applicable to people employed at a broad spectrum of levels in the tyre & related industries.
