This first-hand, back-to-back testing under controlled conditions allows our team to offer expert product recommendations based on how, what and where you drive. To keep our evaluations consistent we use identical vehicles, routes and courses. For that matter, the only things we intentionally change are the products being tested. PERFORMANCE TEST TRACK DRIVES It’s not just a test track…it’s truth serum for tires. The purpose-built test track adjacent to our South Bend headquarters allows our team to experience how each product would behave in an emergency situation on the road or during competition on a track. Our team runs multiple laps of our test course to compare the products’ contribution to steering response, handling, braking and cornering capabilities at the limit. Tire Rack's On-Site Test Track in South Bend, Indiana PANIC STOPPING TESTS Life seldom depends on how fast you go but how quickly you stop can really make a difference. To evaluate the contribution tires make, we conduct straight-line braking tests to accurately measure stopping distances. We stabilize the speed at 50 mph and hit the brakes hard enough to engage the anti-lock braking system and bring the vehicle to a complete stop. We run multiple stops on each tire and use a brake performance analyzer to quantify the data and determine average stopping distances. DRY AND WET ROAD CONDITIONS Many of today’s tires deliver similar dry weather handling and performance, but the real difference is often discovered when rain makes the roads slippery. Our test track features a sprinkler system that allows us to evaluate traction, handling and braking distances under consistent wet road conditions. We also test tires in the snow when Mother Nature obliges and on the ice of a nearby hockey rink. REAL WORLD ROAD RIDES Our 6.6-mile Real World Road Ride includes 65 mph expressway, 55 mph state highway and 40 mph county roads that showcase ride comfort, noise quality and handling competence in conditions drivers face every day. Any vehicle conditions that might prove distracting are kept to a minimum with the radio off, windows up and climate control fan on its lowest setting. Year-round testing in dry, wet and wintry conditions SHARING WHAT WE’VE LEARNED Following every Ride & Drive, our team’s evaluation of each product’s comfort and performance is scored on a scale of one to ten, with ten being the highest. Additionally, each driver’s lap times during the Performance Track Drive are recorded with a competition lap timer and the fastest laps are averaged to help quantify the tire’s performance capabilities on the track. We have found that our team’s driving experience and insight reflects that of our customers. They are a combination of racers, autocrossers and enthusiasts whose evaluations provide an excellent overview of the variety of products we test. After all, experience really is the best teacher.

T I R E R A C K S P O N S O R S H I PS TIRE RACK STREET SURVIVAL Knowledgeable driving instructors teach students to control their own vehicles in emergency situations. ® IT’S ABOUT MORE THAN DRIVING. IT’S ABOUT LIVING! Tire Rack Street Survival®, a national non-profit teen driving program, teaches teens skills that will help them to stay alive behind the wheel. Unlike traditional driver education programs based on classroom theory and simple vehicle maneuvers, the Tire Rack Street Survival program improves driver competence through hands-on experiences in real-world driving situations. Teenagers learn from knowledgeable enthusiast driving coaches how their actions govern a car’s responses, what the limits of their vehicles are and how to avoid accidents entirely. Working with regional members of the BMW Car Club of America, Sports Car Club of America and other like-minded enthusiast organizations, Tire Rack Street Survival utilizes local enthusiast volunteers to support a program that in 2010 will result in more than 85 days of instruction across the country. OPEN FOR REGISTRATION To register for a Tire Rack Street Survival school in your area (or request one) follow the links from www.tirerack.com or visit www.streetsurvival.org. 2010 TIRE RACK ONE LAP OF AMERICA 18 TIMED EVENTS AND ALMOST 3,500 ROAD MILES IN JUST EIGHT DAYS. The 27th Tire Rack One Lap of America began Friday, April 30, 2010 at Tire Rack headquarters with the annual Wet Skidpad Challenge. The Wet Skidpad Challenge’s overall winner was the SSGT1 BB (Big Bore) Class 2009 Nissan GT-R driven by Will Taylor. His Continental ExtremeContact DW tires generated an average wet cornering force of 0.962g, breaking his previous wet skidpad record of 0.953g set last year. The teams would continue on to Road America, Mid-America Motorplex, Hallet Motor Racing Circuit, Tulsa Raceway Park, Gateway International Raceway, Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, New Jersey Motorsports Park and Nelson Ledges Road Course before returning to Tire Rack on Saturday, May 8th for the 18th and final event, the Dry Skidpad Challenge. The winner of the Dry Skidpad Challenge was the SSGT1 BB (Big Bore) Class Porsche GT2 driven by Leh Keen. His Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires generated an average cornering force of 1.098g to break the previous dry skidpad record of 1.095g set in 2008. While chased for much of the event by the 2010 Nissan GT-R of Catesby Jones and Jose Collado, winning the Dry Skidpad Challenge also earned Leh Keen and Doug Wilks their first overall Tire Rack One Lap of America victory. PROJECT STR COLLABORATION Tire Rack has teamed up with Grassroots Motorsports magazine to prepare a car for competition in the SCCA’s new STR autocross class. STR, short for Street Touring Roadster, allows common bolt-on performance improvements to an otherwise stock street car, such as wider tires and wheels, suspension upgrades and an engine ECU retune. Sticky R-compound competition tires are not allowed, so we’ll be competing on “regular” street tires. The 2010 Mazda MX-5 will compete head-to-head with similarly-prepped Honda S2000s, Toyota MR2 Spyders and other 2-seat sports cars. Tire Rack test drivers Chris “Trent” Harvey and John “Woody” Rogers will handle the parts installation and the driving duties as they measure the performance gains on the Tire Rack test track and document their efforts during competition in select Tire Rack SCCA National Tour and Pro Solo events during the 2010 season.
