This SAE Recommended Practice describes a test method for determining the vertical force and deflection properties of a non-rolling tire and the associated contact patch length and width. The method applies to any tire so long as the equipment is properly scaled to conduct the measurements for the intended test tire. The data are suitable for use in determining parameters for road load models and for comparative evaluations of the measured properties in research and development. This Recommended Practice was developed as part of a set of Recommended Practices intended to allow modelers to determine the parameters required by any of the common tire models for calculating spindle loads given the road surface profile from a single set of experimental results, and thus, to eliminate duplicate testing.
