EFFECTIVENESS OF TIRES UNDER WINTER DRIVING CONDITIONS WITH DISCUSSION
THIS PAPER COMPARES THE EFFECTIVENESS IN WINTER OF SNOW TIRES WITH STUDS, WITHOUT STUDS, AND WITH CONTROLLED PROTRUSION STUDS; ELASTOMERIC TIRE ATTACHMENTS AND REINFORCED STEEL TIRE CHAINS; AND STANDARD BIAS-BELTED HIGHWAY TIRES. CORRELATIONS BETWEEN EACH WHEEL COMBINATION AND TEMPERATURE VARIATION WERE OBTAINED FROM EACH SET OF TESTS FOR THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS: LOCKED-WHEEL STOPPING FROM 35 MPHS ON CLEAR ICE, SANDED ICE, AND WET ASPHALT; BREAKOUT SPEED ON A COURSE DESIGNED TO SIMULATE A LANE-CHANGE MANUEVER ON CLEAR ICE; AND STARTING TRACTION ON CLEAR ICE AND PACKED SNOW.
