Most tire properties are closely related to the pattern deformation. In order to explore the relationship between tire performance and defined deformation parameters in the contact area between the pneumatic tire and road surface, ten types of 205/55R16 passenger car radial (PCR) tires were selected as the research objects. Using VIC-3D non-contact strain measurement system and by subdividing the contact area, the pattern deformation in contact area under vertical load was tested, and the relevant deformation parameters of the contact area were extracted. Correlation analysis was used to establish the relationship between the identified deformation parameters and tire performance indicators. Then an evaluation method of tire performance based on the deformation parameters was proposed, as well as clarification of the contradictory mechanism between tire noise, rolling resistance and dry grip performance. While the results indicate tire noise having a significant negative correlation with radial deformation in the contact area, rolling resistance coefficient gave a significant positive correlation with its equivalent strain in the XY plane of the contact area, and dry braking distance positively correlates with tensile strain in the Y direction of contact area and negatively correlates with tensile strain in the X direction of the contact area.
