Tire Performance
Tire Performance
(OP)
Hi
i got a question.
A graph of slip ratio Vs Longitudinal Force (considering zero camber & neglecting SH & Sv functions)is a graph passing through the origin. after it reaches its peak value of longitudinal force, what happens next? i mean how does it perform with increasing slip ratio, after this peak force is reached?
Also, increase in vertical load shows an increase of longitudinal force. What does this mean? is it good or bad for the tire/vehicle?

RE: Tire Performance
On other surfaces anything can happen.
Don't really know what you mean by the other question.

RE: Tire Performance
More weight = more traction. In an aero car there can be much more downforce than the vehicles own mass and dynamics would provide. That force will then translate into increased traction and better acceleration/braking.

Your graph shows perfectly normal behaviour for a tire, and, astonishingly even agrees with my first post.
