Effect of plus sizing on driving comfort and safety of users

This paper contains the results of a track test into the performance of tires manufactured by a leading brand applied on a surface with different conditions (dry and decreased friction). The research applied new tires in a common size (185/65R14), half-worn tires with the same size and replacement tires size 205/45R16. The tires were subjected to experiments involving stopping distance, average speed as well as maximum values of acceleration and deceleration.
