Report examines effects of tire deflection, tread, carcass stiffness, construction, speed, and slip on tire performance in dry sand; laboratory tests results indicate that for best performance in dry sand tire should be highly deflected, smooth, and of diagonal-ply construction; direct relation is shown between pull developed by full-scale 4×4 vehicle and that developed by single wheel in multiple passes; good agreement was attained in this relation for both Yuma (desert) and mortar sand.
