TY - JOUR PY - 2013// TI - Effects of tyre tread temperature under actual driving on tyre characteristics JO - Transactions of Society of Automotive Engineers of Japan A1 - Okubo, Ryosuke A1 - Oyama, Kozo SP - 499 EP - 504 VL - 44 IS - 2 N2 - It is understood that rolling resistance coefficient (RRC) is one of the most important characteristics for fuel consumption. The influence that tyre temperature has on tyre characteristics is well known. This paper proposes a way to represent tyre thermal characteristics by simple experimental formula and shows the effect of the thermal characteristics on vehicle performance in actual driving. In addition, suitable inflation air pressure is discussed to achieve a good balance between cornering characteristics and rolling resistance.
