Cornering and braking tests have been carried out on a range of lorry tires designed for different purposes and having different tread patterns. The main findings were: On wet smooth looking polished surfaces substantial differences in performance were observed. As expected all the patterned lorry tires gave better cornering and braking than smooth lorry tires but non gave as good braking as typical patterned car tire, particularly for the peak braking coefficients on the wet mastic asphalt surface where the car tire produced a 2:1 improvement compared with the best results from the patterned lorry tires.
