EFFECT OF TREAD WEAR ON TIRE/PAVEMENT INTERACTION NOISE

The paper reports on a study to determine the noise generating mechanism or mechnaisms behind the increase in tire/pavement interaction noise for a set of heavy duty rib truck tires. A total of five 10.00-20 tires were used in the experiment. The wear level on the tires were 0, 10, 20, 40, and 50 percent respectively. The change in tread curvature for these tires was small, 3 units or less.
