Abstract
A computer-implemented method of predicting the behaviour of a vehicle tire on a wet road surface comprises: providing a computer-implemented tire model; inputting a vertical tire load and a longitudinal tire velocity to the tire model; using the computer-implemented tire model to calculate a predicted tire cornering force in terms of the lateral load-dependent friction coefficient and/or cornering stiffness being dependent on the vertical tire load and being dependent on the longitudinal tire velocity; and outputting the predicted tire cornering force from the computer-implemented tire model.
