STL Adds Bead Testing

Standards Testing Laboratories has added bead-unseating testing for passenger and light truck/SUV tires with wheel diameters up to 30 inches.

The test, in accordance with TREAD Act-required FMVSS 139 testing, analyzes how much force it takes to remove the tire’s bead from a wheel flange.
      
STL has also developed a second machine to test bead unseat strength, applying force against the tire shoulder, simulating a J-turn maneuver in a vehicle. (Tire Review/Akron)
