Research on the Effects of Tires on the Vehicle Handling

It is very important for vehicle handling to match right tires. Mechanics characteristic test is done for the different type tire, the mathematical model is set up according to test data. A dynamic model of vehicle is set up to study the effect of tire performance to vehicle handling stability. Vehicle dynamic response is researched on sinusoidal input of the steering wheel angle. Linear fitting of vehicle dynamic response is done in linear region. According to the difference between the simulation value and linear fitting, different tires are rated.
