MEASUREMENT OF TIRE CHARACTERISTICS FOR P195/75R14 CUSTOM POLYSTEEL TIRES. VOLUME III--TABULATED DATA MEASUREMENTS

A test program was conducted at the Calspan Tire Research Facility (TIRF) to measure the tire force and moment characteristics of Goodyear P195/75R14 Custom Polysteel tire. The results of this program will be used to verify and implement the Advanced Vehicle Rollover Model which is currently being developed for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Free-rolling and braking tests were performed under high conditions of normal load, inclination angle and slip angle values. The report describes the test program details, includes summaries of test results and provides some brief observations of tire performance characteristics.
