Abstract
The tires are the only link between the vehicle and the road. The contact surface between the tire and the road, the tire sip, is where all the forces required for propulsion, braking and steering are transmitted. The properties of the tires therefore shape a vehicle’s dynamic driving behavior in a decisive way. A serious examination of vehicle dynamics requires the following principle to be observed:
