A wheel and sensor assembly includes a U-shaped bracket assembly mounting to and moving with a wheel assembly. One or more sensor device(s) such as camber angle and slip angle sensors mount to the bracket assembly for operatively measuring one or more wheel assembly parameter(s) during vehicle use. The bracket assembly mounts to the wheel assembly and turns therewith. The bracket assembly positions the sensor device(s) in operative optimal proximity to the road surface during vehicle use under actual operating conditions.

Wheel based sensor assembly

A pneumatic tire for dirt track racing comprising lateral and circumferential grooves forming blocks on the tread surface. The blocks have leading and trailing edge walls. The trailing edge walls of the blocks are buttressed by inclining the walls at an angle of 20&#xb0;-60&#xb0; relative to a line perpendicular to a tangent to the tread, and the edge wall extends into the groove by a distance of approximately one-half the tread width. The leading edge walls of the blocks have a radially outer portion inclined at about zero degrees and a radially inner portion have a radius of curvature of infinity or less, wherein the intersection point between the two portions is at about one-half the groove depth.
