Abstract:
A tire testing machine (10) and a method for testing operating the same includes a tire and wheel assembly (17) having a sensor (40) configured to measure a parameter related to the tire and wheel assembly (17) as it rotates on a rotating element (12). A holder (19) supports the tire and wheel assembly (17). A processor (60, 90) is configured to receive an input at least based on the output signal from the sensor, and provide an output signal (64, 91) indicative of a parameter of a contact patch (24) between a tire (14) of the tire and wheel assembly (17) and the rotating element (12). Controlled element(s) (29, 132) are configured to vary a parameter related to the contact patch (24) and/or friction.
