The cornering force and lateral static characteristics of a tyre are fundamental factors that describe the steering feel for handling performance. However, it is difficult to justify the contribution of each factor when the tyre’s cornering motion is evaluated through subjective assessment. Currently, the relaxation length of Pacejka’s tyre model is close to describing these tyre motions. Therefore, this paper proposes a string tyre model based on the relaxation length in order to represent the steering performance. The proposed method provides a more accurate modelling of the steering agility performance. Therefore, it is possible to use this model to predict the steering response performance, and this is validated through comparison with a real relaxation length.
