The overall objectives of this reserch program were to identify the properties of tires that affect vehicle dynamic response and to evaluate the degree to which the various tire parameters enter into this response. The main elements of this research study involved: (1) a laboratory tire test program to measure the performance parameters of interest (braking and lateral force coefficients, aligning and overturning moments, etc.) on selected tires with specified construction properties, (2) a vehicle test program in which the effects of tires with different properties and parameters were measured on four cars using nine wet and dry test maneuvers, and (3) a fundamental vehicle simulation study designed to determine the effect of individual tire parameters on various vehicle performance metrics.
