Abstract

In 1961 test yielded significant results primarily because of the use of a new torque meter device to measure the friction forces. The tests were run with 4 different types of tires including one tyre the recently developed butyl rubber tread which provided high hysteresis or energy losses and high coefficients of friction on wet pavements.
