Influence of tire pressure on the vehicle braking distance

The article presents the results of research on the influence of the pressure in car tires on the braking distance. Tires with lower than nominal pressure, higher than nominal pressure and for comparison with nominal pressure were analyzed. The tests were carried out on a bituminous surface typical for most road surfaces in Poland. Six tests were carried out on a dry surface, a wet surface, and a surface covered with snow. The cars were equipped with sets of summer and winter tires.
