It has been found in part that impact depends largely upon kind and condition of tire; thin or worn solid rubber tires produce very high impact forces; pneumatic tires offer greater influence in reducing impact forces, and with their use impact increases only very slightly with speed of truck; impact increases with speed of truck but it cannot be said to increase according to any constant ratio or power of speed.
