PAVEMENT WEAR CAUSED BY STUDDED RADIAL AND DIAGONAL TIRES-A COMPARISON
BELAEGGNINGSSLITAGE GENOM DUBBADE RADIAL--OCH DIAGONALDAECK-EN JOEMFOERELSE
A comparison of pavement wear caused by studded radial and diagonal tires under realistic conditions was made. The test was carried out on a test track, on which an autopiloted station wagon was run. The test track had two straight parallel sections connected by semicircles. On the two straight sections the vehicle path was laid out in such a way that overtaking was simulated. The surface courses of the two straight sections were different, one having 200 pen and the other 80 pen bitumen (ab 16t and hab 165). The pavement wear was determined by geometric profiling. 60000 circuits were completed, and no statistically significant difference in pavement wear could be established when comparing the two types of studded tires. Measurements of stud protrusion and stud reaction force showed higher force with the radial tires, suggesting that radial tires might have caused lower wear had the reaction forces of the two types of tire been the same. /TRRL/
