Motor Vehicle Performance - Tyre Performance

by Andrew Greaney

Most motor vehicle performance books are difficult to read, use jargon and waffle on subjects that are not useful to the reader. The book aims to give the reader knowledge around race and road vehicle tyre performance. The reader is given useful information and a deep understand behind chassis roll, wheel reactions (the amount of weight that is applied to the ground on each wheel) and what characteristics of the vehicle that can be altered to change the wheel reactions, either increasing or decreasing grip. Subjects explored include chassis roll and wheel reaction figures with & without anti-roll bars and with & without tyre stiffness, centre of gravity, roll centres, handling diagrams, steering angles, slip angles, lateral acceleration and Matrix Laboratory (MATLAB), including all calculations/equations and workings for wheel reactions. Containing useful references for more background reading if desired, this book is your one stop shop on covering motor vehicle performance regarding tyre performance!
