Truck and bus tyres — Method for measuring relative wet grip performance — Loaded new tyres

This document specifies the method for measuring the relative wet grip braking performance index to a reference under loaded conditions for new tyres for use on commercial vehicles on a wet-paved surface.

NOTE            The methods developed in this document are intended to reduce variability. A reference tyre is used to limit the variability of the testing method procedures.

This document applies to all commercial vehicle, truck and bus tyres.

This document does not apply to:

—     tyres fitted with additional devices to improve traction properties (e.g. studded tyres);

—     professional off-road tyres.
