This paper presents tire data from an All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV). Data is collected on a Flat-Trac® machine where force and moment data were collected for three tires: one front tire and two rear tires. Tests were conducted at slip angles of +/-28 degrees, varying normal loads and inclinations angles. Additionally, tests were conducted at varying levels of inflation pressure. Key parametric data such as aligning moment, cornering and vertical stiffness levels are presented. One key finding from this study is that, in general, as inflation pressure increases cornering and aligning moment stiffness decreases. This effect is counter to typical passenger vehicle tires, where higher inflation pressure usually results in higher stiffness levels. Using results from the tire test data, understeer calculations are made for a vehicle under varying loading conditions.
