Estimation method of the lateral grip of a pair of tires according to the comparative analysis

摘要

A method of estimating the transverse grip of a pair of tires intended to equip a two-wheeled vehicle by comparative analysis against another pair of tires. The tires are mounted on the vehicle in pairs, the vehicle is run in a circle of set radius until it attains the maximum speed with grip, and the mean speed and/or the mean cornering angle of the vehicle under steady state conditions and/or the mean lap time is/are determined.
