Abstract

Behavior of a tire for a two-wheeled vehicle and a tire for a four-wheeled vehicle are greatly different. Especially, when we calculate behavior of a two-wheeled vehicle, it is necessary to consider Twisting Moment that acts on an axis normal to ground because influence of the moment on vehicle behavior is too large to ignore. In this paper, we describe the mechanism that the moment is caused and influence of the moment on vehicle behavior.
