A vehicle sometimes drifts in a straight lane. This is caused by wind, road contour, suspension alignment, and tire properties. In this paper, characteristic tire properties which affect vehicle pull are defined and analyzed by the finite element method. The effect of tire construction and tread pattern on these characteristics are discussed.Abstract
