As an added conference benefit, Smithers is planning a tour of the Treadwell Research Park Track Tuesday morning, August 12th. Treadwell Research Park, a 898-acre facility near Pearsall, Texas, is a tire testing proving ground owned by Discount Tire and operated by Smithers. The facility is utilized to test tires on various surfaces and conditions to assist with benchmarking and performance studies of a wide scope of tire types.
We will provide transportation to and from the proving ground and a fun setting for discussions with conference attendees as well as the opportunity to tour the proving ground. Participants will have a chance to see various track and surface types including wet and dry VDA’s, a high-speed oval, and off-road trails. The tour will also include a facility overview of on-site engineering and garage services supporting tire testing for the industry. Smithers staff will be on hand for the tours and to answer any questions attendees may have.
