Tests were conducted to determine if correlation could be obtained between tire wear rates experienced on automobiles and accelerated wear rates generated on towed trailers with the wheels set at a side slip angle. Fair correlation was obtained between car experience and that with trailers with free rolling wheels set at equal slip angle; better correlation was obtained between car experience and that with trailers with free rolling wheels set at the appropriate slip angle so that all tires generated the same cornering force; this level of correlation, however, was not deemed enough to be useful as a tire wear rating system.
