| Abstract(E) | Tires are traditionally characterized using indoor flat-track machines with sandpaper surfaces, which generally overpredict performance relative to outdoor driving, especially for racing tires. This limits correlation and accuracy when applying such data or models in vehicle simulations. To address this, a novel flat-track surface was developed with a surface roughness much more representative of real roads. Racing tires were evaluated on the surface and benchmarked against outdoor measurements, supported by analysis of rubber material properties. The surface produced an improved correlation with outdoor behavior, thus offering a new way to enhance understanding and predict tire and vehicle performance. |
