A tire contact pressure study has been conducted to determine how different truck tire types respond to load and inflation parameters. The combination of tire type/size, loading, and inflation pressure determines the shape of the vertical contact pressure profile and the maximum contact pressure. Radial-ply truck tire contact pressures were generally higher than the bias-ply truck tire. Tire loading influence shoulder region contact pressures whereas inflation pressure influenced center-region contact pressures. The maximum level of vertical contact pressure was found to be as high as twice the tire inflation pressure.
