Loss of cornering force due to non-linear tyre behaviour<br />

At this stage we must consider the tyre characteristics. The tyre cornering<br />

force F y varies with the tyre load F z but the relationship is not linear (as<br />

shown in Chapter 5).<br />

Figure 7.25 shows a typical plot of tyre lateral force with tyre load at<br />

a given slip angle. The total lateral force produced at either end of the<br />

vehicle is the average of the inner and outer lateral tyre forces. From the<br />

figure it can be seen that F y represents a theoretical loss in tyre force
