SMALL DIAPHRAGM-TYPE PRESSURE-SENSITIVE CELLS WERE SET FLUSH WITH THE SURFACE OF A RIGID STEEL PLATE TO MEASURE VERTICAL PRESSURES BENEATH PNEUMATIC TIRES. MEASUREMENTS WERE MADE WHILE THE TIRE WAS STATIONARY AND WHILE IT WAS MOVING AT ABOUT 2 MPH. TESTS WERE MADE WITH SEVERAL SIZES OF SMOOTH-TREAD TIRES TO EVALUATE THE EFFECT OF LOAD, INFLATION PRESSURE, AND TYPE OF TIRE CONSTRUCTION ON THE MAGNITUDE AND DISTRIBUTION OF PRESSURES AT THE TIRE-SURFACE INTERFACE. THE DATA SHOW THAT UNDER MANY CONDITIONS THE DISTRIBUTION OF PRESSURES OVER THE CONTACT AREA WAS FAR FROM UNIFORM. /AUTHOR/
