A wheel was pulled or driven on soft ground and the contact pressure between the tread and the ground was measured with a small pressure sensor attached flush with the surface of the wheel. The shapes of the pressure distribution curves along the contact surface were almost all bell-shaped and symmetrical. Their height and width increased when the wheel load increased, and the position of the hill top shifted forward; however, this shift was very slight for a driven wheel.
