Tekscan goes fast-track with its high-speed tire scanning

A new electronic testing method lets engineers analyze the impact of speed, motion, and inertial forces that high-speed tires experience, a vast departure from what was previously possible with sensor systems.

While Tekscan has a track record with tire-footprint analysis with as many as 250,000 sensing points, the length of time needed to scan that vast data array essentially meant that tire speeds could be no faster than 10 mph (16 km/h).
