It is well known that tire/road factors have a large influence on overall tire performance. In this paper, the basic study on the effects of tire/road factors on the pass-by noise performance of tire labeling has been carried out through experimental tests. The tire pass-by noise is affected by road characteristic factors, especially greatly influenced by road friction coefficient, and the next dominant factor is road chipping size. For several authorized pass-by noise test tracks, the pass-by noise correlation test has been done to know the test site effect, which results in 2~3dB(A) variation of pass-by noise level. Finally, it is shown that the winter tire is differently influenced by the pass-by noise test track characteristics, as compared to all-season tire and summer tire.

It is well known that tire pattern design factors have a large influence on overall tire performance. In this paper, the basic study on the effects of tire pattern design factors on tire labeling performance has been carried out through experimental tests. The pass-by noise is affected by tire pattern design, by a maximum of 2.7dB(A), and the number of sipes gives large effects on PBN. The rolling resistance is also influenced, mostly by the number of longitudinal grooves and secondly the number of sipes. Finally, there is a weak correlation between PBN and RR when the pattern design factors are changed.

Tire labeling is an important issue to reduce $CO_2$ and to secure the safety of tire/vehicle on wet road. A basic study on the effects of tire basic stiffness design on tire labeling performance has been done through experimental test. The pass-by noise is affected by tire structural design. The tire with lower side part stiffness and lower tread part stiffness has the lowest PBN level and the best wet grip. And the tire with higher tread part stiffness and higher side part stiffness has the better RR performance. Also it is observed that the trade-off between RR and wet grip exists for various tire stiffness design.
