Kal's Test Results
? Independent & Objective Testing
?Summer vs Winter Tests
BRAKING
We varied our approach speeds by driving surface and by season for two reasons. First, this represents how most Canadians would normally drive on that surface in each season. Second, testing in both seasons provides an indication of how a tire's performance will be affected by road temperature.
CORNERING
To understand how road surface temperatures affect the cornering performance of a tire, our cornering tests are completed in both summer conditions (dry and wet pavement, and gravel roads) and winter conditions (dry, wet and icy pavement). Please note that slush is also tested but completed in a specific slush cornering test..
?Independent & Objective Testing
The independent tire testers conducted extensive tests to determine how the tires in our core line-up perform in a range of conditions in both summer and winter. To maintain neutrality, no driver knew the specifics of the tires they were testing each time. All results were analyzed and processed by the testing group and then provided to Kal Tire for sharing with our customers.

I drove to Sudbury from Mississauga to Sudbury and back over Christmas. Dry roads until Parry Sound, then slight snow coverage in passing lane, curb lane had tracks cleared. Raining as I approached Sudbury, last 40 km or so. Lots of snow while I was there. About a foot on the 23rd and then another 8' on the 27th. Came back on the 28th, Snow covered passing lane, curb lane had tracks until just south of Parry Sound, then wet until Barrie, fry the rest of the way. Streets were partially snow covered in Sudbury, but mostly 2 tracks in both lanes. The tires handled all condition easily, no skidding or sliding at all. Nice and quiet on the dry pavement as well. Very im0pressed so far.
