Read MoreSmithers has announced that it has invested in a state-of-the-art simulated on-vehicle acceleration testing (SOVAT) machine. This new testing capability was recently launched at the Smithers Suzhou, China laboratory with full machine demonstrations and tire testing training for attendees.
The SOVAT machine is the result of working with vehicle and tire manufacturers to understand their tire testing pain points. On-vehicle tire testing can be time-consuming and inconsistent, driving the need for faster, more repeatable methods for treadwear, chip and chunk, road hazard endurance, and break-in testing. With the SOVAT machine, clients now have an indoor, repeatable option to conduct this testing, providing results in a fraction of the time.
Read MoreAs farms grow and fields get farther apart, farm equipment—especially tractors—spend more time on the road. Getting from field to field smoothly and quickly is crucial for productivity. Choosing tires that match your operation’s in-field and on-road needs ensures safe, efficient and comfortable road travel while maintaining performance in the field.
