Abstract
Tire wear is one of the factors that most drivers have concerned and is closely related to the tire life. It is very difficult to predict tire wear because the factors affecting tire wear seem to be very comlicated. Tire wear test should be performed at real conditions for the evaluation of tire wear. In this study, we analyze tire wear according to the severities of test courses by using the dedicated test method, more severe than real driving conditions. In order to simplify the factors affecting tire wear, we define roads’ driving severities to be driving severity numbers, DSNs which are obtained by measuring the lateral accelerations of test courses. And we compared tire wear rates and profiles with DSNs. These test results can provide the tire design guide to meet tire wear performance.
