Wheels & Tires Database
TÜV AUSTRIA operates a database for the preparation of reports, mounting cases, strength tests and TPMS tests. We offer our customers access to this database via our Internet portal. The tool provides you with ideal support in the development process of your wheel and tells you which dimension a certain vehicle type requires.
All mounting cases of all vehicles available in the database are shown. The database offers filter options according to wheel dimensions and vehicle data. It is also possible to download brake contours (2D drawings) and 3D data of TPMS sensors.
Brake measurement
The brake contours for the preparation of expert reports and for downloading from our portal are taken using a 3D scanner and further processed in CAD. For example, the movement of the suspension when turning is also taken into account in order to obtain a so-called worst-case contour.
Road tests
New vehicles are subjected to special driving tests as early as possible as a basis for the preparation of our expert reports.
We carry out the following tests with each vehicle type:
- Dynamic driving tests on our test track in accordance with VdTÜV751 and ECE R124.
- Testing the clearance of the rims in the wheel arch of vehicles
