The aim of this project is to develop and validate a sensitive laboratory method for predicting the snow performance of winter and all-season tread compounds. The key objectives include:
Development of a laboratory method
Achieving a snow performance prediction accuracy of 95%
Ensuring high precision of the method in terms of both repeatability and reproducibility
The accuracy of the new laboratory method will be validated against the snow performance results of winter and all-season tires obtained through outdoor testing.
