TOLERABLE WEAR AND STUDDED TYRE DAMAGE COST. SUMMARY OF SESSION 1 PAPERS

AQUAPLANING (WHICH IS ONE OF THE PRIMARY FACTORS DETERMINING TOLERABLE WEAR DEPTH), IS DETERMINED BY THE DEPT, CROSS FALL, TEXTURE, RUT WIDTH AND ALSO BY THE TRAFFIC INTENSITY. THE COLLECTION OF SLUDGE IN THE RUTS, AND THE INTERFERENCE OF RUTTING WITH THE MANEUVERABILITY OF THE VEHICLES, ARE ADDITIONAL DRAWBACKS. THE EFFECT OF RUTTING ON VEHICLE HANDLING IS BEING RESEARCHED IN THE U. S. THE FIGURES FOR TOLERABLE WEAR DEPTH (TW) VARY CONSIDERABLY. THE UNCERTAINITY OF FACTORS ENTERING COST CALCULATION FORMULAS IS DISCUSSED. EFFORT IS BEING EXPENDED ON REDESIGNING HAMLESS STUDS WHICH WOULD REDUCE WEAR. TOLERABLE WEAR CONDITIONS ARE LISTED AND DISCUSSED.
