Tire Load Sensitivity




They typically develop this maximum lateral force at a Slip Angle of 6-8 degrees, although this angle increases as the vertical load on the tire increases.

As an example, here is data extracted from Milliken and Milliken's Race Car Vehicle Dynamics, figure 2.9
The same sensitivity is typically seen in the longitudinal forces, and combined lateral and longitudinal slip.

In a Pacejka tire model the lateral load sensitivity is defined by parameters A9 and A12.
