MEET OUR TEAM AND TOUR THE SMART FACTORY

Did you know that the development, testing, and manufacturing of tires affects your driving experience in more ways than you might realize? For example, tire engineers use their knowledge of physics to thoughtfully develop tread patterns for a variety of purposes, like reducing the noise of the tire on the road, evacuating water on wet terrain, or ejecting rocks from tread grooves. The type of compound that makes up a tire, and even the components inside it, can affect how long your tire lasts and how much fuel you use. Additionally, the factory that manufactures the tires can have a profound impact on the environment, depending on how sustainable its manufacturing methods are. All these considerations are made by a dedicated team at Sentury Tire USA before the sale and seamless delivery of tires to you. We would like to introduce you to some of these team members behind Groundspeed Tires!
