Tests were conducted at three airports having different runway groove configurations. The objective of these tests was to determine if grooves change the rate of wheel spin-up and if they produce cuts in the tires of the test aircraft. Although no evidence of tire cutting was observed, it was found that the wheel spin-up rate for the test aircraft was increased by the runway grooves. The extent of the increase was influenced by the width of the grooves. (Author)
