Get a Grip on Wet Handling with Giti and MIRA

On September 11 and 12 the gates to the MIRA testing ground near Nuneaton are being opened to the public for the Motors Live at MIRA ’10 event, and Giti Tire has announced its participation during the weekend’s activities. Giti, the only tyre maker invited to participate, will operate MIRA’s wet circuit facilities and give attendees the opportunity to see how tyres are evaluated during their development. A tyre development engineer will drive visitors in a performance BMW on a circuit that simulates hazardous driving conditions.

The proving ground, normally off limits to the public, is also home to Giti Tire’s European Test Centre. The ETC technical operation provides development and evaluation capacity to Giti Tire’s Research and Development Centre, and is employed in the development of tyre products for European and global applications for both replacement and original equipment markets.
