2. Tire code - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_code

   The load index on a passenger-car tire is a numerical code stipulating the maximum load (mass, or weight) each tire can carry. For load range "B" tires, ETRTO (ISO-Metric) standards specify the load index rating at an inflation pressure of 36 psi (250 kPa) (table below), while P-Metric standards measure the load capacity at an inflation ...

3. Braking distance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braking_distance

   Braking distance. Braking distance refers to the distance a vehicle will travel from the point when its brakes are fully applied to when it comes to a complete stop. It is primarily affected by the original speed of the vehicle and the coefficient of friction between the tires and the road surface, [Note 1] and negligibly by the tires' rolling ...

4. Tyre label - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyre_label

   The Tyre Label is a mark for motor vehicle tyres. Manufacturers of tyres for cars, light and heavy trucks must specify fuel consumption, wet grip and noise classification of every tyre sold in EU market starting in November 2012. [1]

5. Uniform Tire Quality Grading - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Tire_Quality_Grading

   Uniform Tire Quality Grading, commonly abbreviated as UTQG, is a set of standards for passenger car tires that measures a tire's treadwear, temperature resistance and traction. The UTQG was created by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in 1978, a branch of the United States Department of Transportation (DOT). [ 1 ]

6. Slip ratio - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slip_ratio

   Slip ratio is a means of calculating and expressing the slipping behavior of the wheel of an automobile.It is of fundamental importance in the field of vehicle dynamics, as it allows to understand the relationship between the deformation of the tire and the longitudinal forces (i.e. the forces responsible for forward acceleration and braking) acting upon it.

7. Rolling resistance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_resistance

   EU passenger car tyre label fuel efficiency class A (upper limit) 0.0062 to 0.0150 [31] Car tire measurements 0.0100 to 0.0150 [32] Ordinary car tires on concrete 0.0385 to 0.0730 [33] Stage coach (19th century) on dirt road. Soft snow on road for worst case. 0.3000 [32] Ordinary car tires on sand

8. Slip (vehicle dynamics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slip_(vehicle_dynamics)

   In (automotive) vehicle dynamics, slip is the relative motion between a tire and the road surface it is moving on. This slip can be generated either by the tire's rotational speed being greater or less than the free-rolling speed (usually described as percent slip), or by the tire's plane of rotation being at an angle to its direction of motion (referred to as slip angle).

9. Tire uniformity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_uniformity

   The standard test speed for tire uniformity machines is 60 r/min of a standard load wheel that approximates 5 miles per hour. High speed uniformity machines are used in research and development environments that reach 250 km/h and higher. High speed uniformity machines have also been introduced for production testing.
