Vehicle / Tire Handling

Clint Humphreys, an experienced hands-on snow handling evaluator and engineer, is available to conduct tests at RSI’s snow handling course in West Yellowstone. Testing can be both subjective (SAE scale ratings) and objective. A typical test could include measured acceleration, deceleration, and steady state under and over steer. Subjective analysis would look at, but not limited to, power-on understeer or oversteer, overall response, linearity, brake-in-turn, recovery and trailing throttle oversteer. Overall test procedures, i.e., control tire utilized and number of runs, can be tailored to fit the client’s requirements.
