Hi all,

I need to carry out a quarter car model of a truck trailer in order to model the brake system. It's a 12ton trailer with 4 385/65/R22.5 tires for each axle. Does anyone have any idea about the tire vertical stiffness and the suspension vertical stiffness and damping? I have found no data so far.

Thanks

Cheers

Pietro
