This chapter starts with an introduction to the history of wheels and tires and presents the construction of various types of tires, such as the radial-ply and cross-ply tires. The longitudinal and lateral forces and moments developed by the tires are discussed in detail. Analytical, empirical, and semi-empirical models of pneumatic tires are systematically developed to study the tractive, braking, ride, and cornering behavior of the vehicle, which are also presented in this chapter.
