Abstract
Abstract
A simple equation for tire rolling resistance in terms of whole-tire hysteresis ratio, tire load, and footprint dimensions has been developed from energetic considerations. The rolling resistances of a number of radial passenger and truck tires have been calculated using the equation, and the calculated values were successfully compared with the measured results. The general applicability of the equation was illustrated by predicting the rolling resistances of a wide range of tires—from an experimental HR78-8 minitire to a full size 11R24.5 truck tire.
