This joint project has established a data base of noise and traction characteristics (on wet and dry surfaces) for a sample of bias-ply and radial truck tires for heavy duty trucks. The tire sample, which included representative rib and crossbar (lug) tread patterns, was tested according to procedures similar to those specified in SAE Recommended Practice J-57a, Sound Level of Highway Truck Tires, and a variety of laboratory and over-the-road traction experiments. The study results show that for both wet and dry conditions, tires exhibiting improved traction performance are generally those whose tread patterns yield lower noise output.
