Title	Relative pavement wear effects of different wheel types and tyre pressures
Publisher	Transport and Road Research Laboratory, 1991
Physical Description	8p., charts
Series	Working Paper: WP/PE/74
Notes	Tests were carried out at the Pavement Test Facility to investigate the relative effects on pavement wear of single and dual wheels and the different types of tyre pressures. The results suggest that single wheels cause substantial more wear, both in terms of fatigue and deformation, than dual wheels for the same wheel load. In comparison the effect of changes to tyre pressure appear to be relatively small.
Keywords	Pavement Tyres
