The purpose of a laboratory roadwheel test is to realistically evaluate tires for specific road conditions. To facilitate such tests, ASTM International Committee F09 on Tires has developed a practice to provide an industry standard for commercial radial truck-bus tire laboratory temperature algorithms. The algorithms equilibrate with flat surface (highway) operating temperatures to determine…
