Survey on Road-Tyre Contact Patch Pattern and Wear Related Aspects

Survey on Road-Tyre Contact Patch Pattern and Wear Related Aspects

Motor vehicle end-users approaches to tyre safety issues in automobiles translate to a number of tyre failure risk factors. This study basically assessed tread wear pattern of tyres in passenger cars used on Nigeria roads. The result obtained showed that 75.4% of the assessed tyres showed uneven wea...

This study basically assessed tread wear pattern of tyres in passenger cars used on Nigeria roads. The result obtained showed that 75.4% of the assessed tyres showed uneven wear pattern resulting from incorrect tyre-road contact effects. This observed high proportion of uneven tyre tread wear pattern implies high rate of inconsequential regard for tyre safety.https://doi.org/10.1515/scjme-2017-0013safetytyreroadweartreadvehicle
