ABSTRACT:
Tires are measured for a parameter correlated to a tendency to contribute to steering pull when used on a vehicle. A group of the measured tires is then ranked into a successive series by ordering the parameter measurements of the tires in the group non-decreasingly or non-increasingly. A set of at least two tires of substantially consecutive rank are then selected for mounting on the same vehicle in order to reduce steering pull.
