ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to tire testing apparatus and, more particularly, to an improved roadwheel for use with tire testing apparatus of various types which are capable of more accurately measuring the roadability and wear characteristics at high speeds of rotation. The roadwheel has angularly-inclined web plates connecting its hub and rim portions to provide greater stability and durability at greater stresses caused by increased centrifugal forces. The wheel also provides greater margins of safety in tire testing operations.
