What we of­fer

All year-round winter testing

We test all tyre types (C1, C2, C3) throughout the year, made possible by our winter proving ground in Ivalo, Finland, featuring a unique Indoor Winter Test Facility that maintains consistent winter conditions even during summer. Additionally, we utilize our summer test centres and facilities in France. 

All tests take place on tracks and facilities specifically designed for tyre testing, ensuring repeatability and the highest quality results. 

At UTAC, we are tyre testing experts. With our state-of-the-art facilities and year-round testing capabilities for all seasons, we deliver reliable, high-performance results that meet the highest industry standards.
