The Tire Tech course includes an overview on the process of tire manufacturing, including raw materials, techniques and equipment.
In addition, attendees will discuss regulatory and legislative activity, the major service issues facing the industry, the basics of tire uniformity and rolling resistance, as well as an overview of wheels, their types and how they are manufactured and tested.
