ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS ON TIRE TREADWEAR

STATISTICAL STUDIES ON TREADWEAR OF CONTEMPORARY BELTED TIRES, ON A NATIONWIDE VASIS, DEMONSTRATE THAT: (1) IN ANY GIVEN LOCALITY WIDE DIFFERENCES ARE TO BE EXPECTED IN THE PERFORMANCE OF INDIVIDUAL TIRES. THE BEST AND WORST TENPERCENTILE GROUPS EXHIBIT A TWOFOLD VARIATION. (2) DIFFERENT GEOGRAPHICAL REGIONS ARE SHOWN TO PERMIT WIDE VARIATIONS IN TREADWEAR BEHAVIOR. CONTOUR MAPS ARE PRESENTED WHICH HAVE A COHERENT PATTERN.
