Abstract

Automobiles operate at a sideslip angle even when traveling in a straight line, the trim state. If the driver must work to maintain trim on a smooth level road, a pull problem exists. Pull problems often arise from tire properties. Tire‐induced pull problems are discussed in this paper with special emphasis placed on plysteer‐associated problems.
