The Center for Tire Research (CenTiRe) is not made up of buildings and labs, although it makes use of these facilities in its work. CenTiRe is people – engineers, chemists, scientists, and managers from our member companies and agencies; faculty and students from our two university sites; and administrative staff. All these people play a critical role in the creation of the leading-edge, pre-competitive research carried out at the Center that provides value to our members and experience to our faculty and students.
