Braking force<br />

F x<br />

In the absence of braking or driving force the maximum lateral force equal<br />

to F z that can be achieved occurs at point C. Measurements of F y at points<br />

along the y-axis intersected by curves at the set slip angles shown would provide<br />

a plot of lateral force against slip angle at the given tyre load. As driving<br />

or braking force is added the maximum resultant force that can be achieved<br />

is defined by points lying on a curve of radius F z referred to as the ‘friction<br />

circle’ or sometimes the ‘friction ellipse’ as some tyres will have more<br />

capability in traction or cornering leading to an elliptical boundary shape.
