<p>When it comes to testing truck tires, Canadian Tire cuts no corners.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Welcome to the world class facility where we do our most extreme off-road tire testing.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>If our tires make it through here, we know they&rsquo;ll handle the tough challenges of driving in Canada.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>We use some grueling tests to compile wet off-road and dry off-road scores, both of which are out of 100. &nbsp;The closer to 100, the better.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>We start with the Mud Traction Test where we measure a tire&rsquo;s acceleration through serious mud.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>We run this test to measure the tire&rsquo;s amount of slip, and the time and distance it takes to accelerate.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Next, we push through the Hill Climb Test. This specially designed hill has a steep 30&deg; slope with different surfaces &ndash; from smooth to rocky.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>We do this test dry and wet to measure a tire&rsquo;s ability to climb, regain, and maintain traction.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Then we hit the Boulder Crawl. This extreme man-made terrain consists of huge, rough boulders several feet high.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Severe slopes, drop-off areas, and pinch zones help our technicians measure durability, traction, and four-way stability.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Finally, we get to the Rock Garden Test &ndash; designed to simulate a typical off-road riverbed crossing.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>This test is muddy and flooded with water, so the tires are soaked before we measure boulder crawling ability.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>It&rsquo;s this kind of tough testing that gets us tires that score high enough for you to count on. That makes Canadian Tire Canada&rsquo;s automotive authority.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
