JAKARTA - TAHV Rheinland Indonesia tested the performance of PT King Tire Indonesia's production tires for 20,000 km from January 31 to the end of April 2025. This test aims to ensure the quality, safety, and durability of tires in various road conditions in Jabodetabek by involving a team of professional drivers.
Michael Deakin, Local Field Manager of Mobility M04 T04 V Rheinland Indonesia, emphasized that this test was carried out according to global standards. In contrast to laboratory testing, the highway test method considers dynamical variables such as weather, traffic, and road conditions, thus reflecting more the real driving situation.
"We believe that testing is important to comply with regulations, but the tests carried out under actual conditions aim to ensure that tire products meet safety standards. In contrast to laboratory testing, highway testing has many dynamic real variables, such as traffic conditions, weather changes and road conditions. Through this test, we ensure that tires are able to function optimally in various situations and meet safety aspects for drivers, "explained Michael, in his statement, Friday, March 21.
