Results of 709 single-wheel, pneumatic-tire performance tests in desert sand placed carefully in large soil bins are analyzed; tests were performed with variety of tire sizes, loads, tire deflections, and soil strength conditions; cross plots from basic data plots were constructed to show effect of tire width on performance for given tire diameter and effect of diameter for given width; graphs show relative effectiveness of different tires tested for same load and deflection conditions; tests performed indicated that tire performance improves with increasing cone index, tire deflection, diameter, width, and decreasing load.
