Tire Analysis
Capture static or dynamic tire footprint pressure patterns for tire tread and performance analysis.
Analyze tire performance and tread to optimize tire designs and benchmark against competitive products
Tire manufacturers need to understand the changes of a tire under various loads and applications to improve handling and response. This analysis tool provides insight for a better understanding of tire design and how the tire interacts with road surfaces. Analyzing a tire footprint with pressure mapping allows engineers to see how their design improves:- NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness)
- Overall Performance
- Fuel economy
- Longevity/wear

Detailed Tire Tread Analysis Software
TireScan™ software provides the tools for a more comprehensive and higher quality analysis. The software displays the pressure distribution data in multiple formats. The user has the option to create and customize reports from the corresponding tire data and export as a CSV or Word file.- Real time display of pressure distribution
- Multiple graph options
- Create custom formulas based off the standard values of the tire
- Tire objects allows the user to fine tune the characteristics of the tire being tested (area, contact ratio, centerlines, rib lines, etc.)
- Publish custom reports in Word or CSV format
