Tests On Road Surfaces By Public Roads Bureau Heavy Truck Tires
Investigators for the U S Bureau of Public Roads conduct scientific tests to measure how tire types affect pavement wear at speeds of 6 and 15 mph. The study uses a loaded rear wheel setup with old worn tires, a new tire, and a 14.2 inch wide ply tire, comparing deformation and wear under controlled loads to gauge road damage. The results show greater wear from old tires and reduced damage when trucks use newer, pleated tires, with speed increasing tire contact effects.
