A study was cnducted to quantify the cornering characteristics of radial truck tire rib and lug tread designs. A Calspan Tire Research Facility (TIRF) machine was used to measure tire force and moment reponses to load, inflation, slip angle, and chamber. The study concluded that although treated design parameters are a factor, tire cornering characteristics are strongly dependent on load. The cornering performance of lug design tires was not necessarily different from rib tires; the key tread design parameter was no-skid depth. An empirical model was developed for cornering and self-aligning torque stiffness as a function of tread design parameters, load, and inflation.
