Tyre Performance Technology

At Tyre Performance Technology we developed a novel tyre compound testing method, called the TPT001 compound testing method. This method is a destructive testing method which enables us to create tyre compound models. These models give insights in how the rubber compound changes throughout its lifespan due to temperature- and abrasion effects.
The created models can be used by the customer to optimize the tyre performance in terms of maximum stint performance, vehicle setup, qualifying run preparations and driver coaching.

o  Asphalt dry testing

When driving on asphalt there are many different parameters that change the performance of tyres. Our TPT001 compound testing method checks and controls all parameters which gives the most realistic data for the compound wear model. With our wear simulations we can test the tyre through its entire life and identify not only performance but also degradation and lifespan. Using the TPT001 compound testing method, parameters can be identified to extract more performance from a tyre compared to a new tyre. This allows the user to prepare a set of tyre for, for example, a qualifying run and have a few percent more grip delivered by the tyre for a short period.

o  Concrete dry testing

Concrete normally gives less grip than asphalt but is also a common surface on the road and (racing) tracks. Therefore, we offer testing on concrete surfaces as well. We check and control the same parameters, and are able to provide similar compound wear models as for asphalt testing.

o  Track testing support

 Besides testing with our TPT compound testing method, we also get on track. On track we can support your team with tyre testing, performance testing, race engineering and driver coaching. Even though our slogan is ‘get the most out of your tyres’ doesn’t mean we stop there. We want you to get the most out of the total package.
