a) Side Force versus Slip Angle

b) Cornering Stiffness of Normal Load

 Vehicles load distribution on the axle’s changes by roads direction and
curvature. For example if a car turns a left curve, the load on right tire increases
since the load on left tire decreases due to inertial forces. We can easily
understand from graph, relative between cornering stiffness and load is directly
proportional. For example when we decrease load, cornering stiffness will
decrease too so while car is going to curvature, the stiffness ratio of one tire
decreases but others on same axle will increase. Therefore the cornering
stiffness does not change linearly with respect to changing normal load.

c) Self Aligning Torque versus Slip Angle

d) Pneumatic Trail versus Slip Angle

e) Brake Force versus Skid
