In steady-state conditions, explicit expressions for tyre characteristics may be derived using the theoretical framework provided by the brush theory. This chapter is, thus, dedicated to addressing the stationary problem from both the local and global perspectives. The fundamental concepts of critical slip and spin are introduced with respect to an isotropic tyre, and the deformation of the bristles inside the contact patch is investigated for different operating conditions of the tyre. Analytical functions describing the tyre forces and moment acting inside the contact patch are obtained for the particular case of a rectangular contact patch. The analysis is qualitative in nature.
