Abstract

An introduction to vehicle steering response dynamics is followed by a discussion of the influence of pneumatic tyres on driver subjective ratings concerning vehicle steering and handling characteristics. An empirical study investigating driver sensitivity to the effects of low profile radial- ply and standard radial- ply tyres is then described. It was found that the subjective ratings of ordinary drivers could be systematically related to objective measures of vehicle directional response.
