The objective of the study was to generate a comprehensive body of the major force and moment characteristics of passenger car and light truck tires currently distributed in the USA, and to present them in a form suitable for vehicle handling computer simulations. Major Program Elements: (1) Ranking of tire construction and performance parameters with respect to their influence on vehicle handling and control, to prevent testing for second and third order effects; (2) Selection of about 400 tires representing the current population of OE and replacement tires in USA; (3) Proof of good correlation between tire data measured on Calspan's Tire Research Facility and corresponding data measured on a passenger car; (4) Preparation of an empirical tire model; (5) Development of a test program; (6) Presentation of test results in a form readily applicable to tire studies and computer modeling.
