TIRE RELATED EFFECTS ON VEHICLE FUEL ECONOMY

This report analyzes the fuel economy results from steady-state and EPA urban cycle tests that were conducted on the track at the Transportation Research Center of Ohio, during Fall 1978, and steady-state tests that were conducted on a twin roll dynamometer at the EPA, MVEL during Spring 1979. Results were obtained for four different sets of radial tires and four different sets of bias belted tires, and at different tire pressures.
