Abstract:
Tire inflation pressure of vehicle affects various factors such as fuel economy, tread wear, rolling resistance, Contact patch area and braking distance etc. This research study the effect of tire inflation pressure on rolling resistance, contact patch area and braking distance of vehicle. Two tests were conducted for measuring rolling resistance and contact patch area with variation in tire inflation pressure. It was observed that the contact patch area of tire and rolling resistance of vehicle are inversely proportional to the tire inflation pressure. Test result indirectly proves that braking distance is directly proportional to the tire inflation pressure and it was verified with the theoretical data.
