Tire tread and road surfaces vary in frictional characteristics according to speed, temperature, and texture; coefficient of friction on dry pavement may vary from 0.35 to 1, on wet or lubricated conditions from as low as 0.05 on smooth ice to 0.90 on stone; service requirement is major factor in establishing basic tread configuration; types of heavy service tires designed for specific classes of service are shown; phases of skid testing at Lancaster test site of United States Rubber Co.
