Abstract

The effect of tread pattern depth on skidding resistance in wet conditions was investigated on six road surfacing of differing textures with tyres of current tread design in various stages of wear. Measurement of locked wheel and peak breaking force coefficients were made over a speed range of 50 km-h to 130 km-h.
