For radial <strong>tire</strong>s, <strong>the</strong> effective rolling radius is ra<strong>the</strong>r independent of load in its load range of operation<br />

because of <strong>the</strong> high stiffness of <strong>the</strong> <strong>tire</strong> belt circumference. Only at low loads does <strong>the</strong> effective <strong>tire</strong> radius<br />

decrease with increasing vertical load due to <strong>the</strong> <strong>tire</strong> tread thickness, see <strong>the</strong> Figure 2.<br />
