The dynamic performance capabilities of conventional and radial (both self and forced steering) passenger trucks are investigated with respect to lateral stability and curve negotiation. There always exists an inherent trade-off between good stability and curving performance. The individual truck designs are optimized and then compared to one another to determine the performance benefits of the radial design.
