Proceedings of the ISTVS (International Society for Terrain-Vehicle Systems) Workshop on Measurement and Evaluation of Tire Performance under Winter Conditions, Alta, Utah, 11-14 April 1983.
Abstract
The problem of specification of required tire performance characteristics for operation in off-road situations can be a simple or complicated circumstance--depending on the sets of perspectives that are brought to bear in the evaluation of tire performance. The more detailed an individual is in specification or performance, the more complicated the issue becomes; primarily because the means for evaluation of performance cannot always be rigorously or exactly stated. Because a) proper first evaluation of tires requires actual on-terrain running interaction, b) test terrain variabilities cannot be readily described, and c) test measurement systems and techniques have yet to be fully delineated and rationalized, we are left with the situation of developing whole sets of procedures and standards that need to be continually upgraded or fine-tuned as more information becomes available.
