16. Abstract 

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration 

conducted a joint test program through Oak Ridge National Laboratory to explore the effects of tire 

rolling resistance levels on Class 8 tractor-trailer stopping distance performance over a range of loading 

and surface conditions. The objective was to determine whether there is a relationship between tire 

rolling resistance and stopping distance for vehicles of this type.

The results of this research suggest that tire rolling resistance is not a reliable indicator of Class 8 

tractor-trailer stopping distance. The correlation coefficients (R2 values) for linear regressions of wet 

and dry stopping distance versus overall vehicle rolling resistance values did not meet the minimum 

threshold for statistical significance for any of the test conditions. Correlation between the tire 

coefficient of rolling resistance (CRR) and stopping distance was found to be negligible for the dry 

tests for both loading conditions. While correlation was higher for the wet testing (showing a slight 

trend in which lower CRRs correspond to longer stopping distances), it still did not meet the minimum 

threshold for statistical significance. In terms of compliance with Federal safety standards, it was 

found that the stopping distance performance of the vehicle with the four tire sets studied in this 

research (with estimated tractor CRRs which varied by 33%), were well under the Federal Motor 

Vehicle Safety Standards No. 121 stopping distance requirements.

Overview

The DOT Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and National Highway Traffic Safety 

Administration conducted a joint test program through Oak Ridge National Laboratory to 

explore the effects of tire rolling resistance values on Class 8 tractor-trailer stopping distance 

performance over a range of loading and surface conditions. The objective was to determine 

whether there is a relationship between tire rolling resistance and stopping distance for vehicles 

of this type. 

Sets of 60-mph stopping distance tests were performed on four different sets of tires (on the same 

tractor semitrailer test vehicle) on wet and dry pavement at the Transportation Research Center 

in East Liberty, Ohio. For each set of tires, ten stopping distance tests were performed for each 

test condition. New tires of these same tire models were also laboratory-tested for rolling 

resistance at Smithers Rapra to facilitate comparison between the test track performance and the 

coefficients of rolling resistance (CRRs) for each tire set. Six new tires of each model were 

tested for rolling resistance. 

Test Vehicle

The test vehicle was a model year 2014 Freightliner Cascadia 125 6x4 tractor that used the same 

Utility 2012 VS2DX 53-foot dry van trailer with air suspension for all test conditions other than 

Part 571 Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) No. 121 testing, which requires a 

special unbraked control trailer (Figure 1). The tractor and trailer brakes were fully burnished in 

accordance with the FMVSS No. 121 procedures prior to testing. All tires were subjected to an 

on-road conditioning run of 100 miles at approximately 60 mph, loaded to 60,000 lb. gross 

combination vehicle weight (GCVW), prior to the start of braking tests.

The vehicle test weights selected for the test program are detailed in Table 1. Exact test weights 

for each test series are available in Appendix A, with additional details on per axle loading and 

vehicle configuration in Appendix C.

*A slightly higher GCVW than the standard 56,500-lb. target GCVW for FMVSS No. 121 tests 

was used to parallel other efforts where higher loads were tested. 

Test Tires

The test tire models were selected from four manufacturers and were comprised of “all-position” 

(which are primarily used on tractor steer or trailer axles) and “drive” designated models (Table 

1). The test design utilized the EPA SmartWay Verified designation as an indicator of low

rolling resistance at the various axle positions. Detailed results of the tire rolling resistance 

testing are discussed later in this report and displayed in Table 8 and Appendix B. The allposition tire models ranged in average CRR from 4.6 to 6.5 N/kN. The drive tire models ranged 

in average CRR from 5.9 to 8.2 N/kN.

Table 3 shows how the tire models were combined into four sets of test tires. Tire Set 2 was 

comprised of SmartWay-verified low rolling resistance tires (LRRT) at all steer, drive, and 

trailer positions. Sets 1 and 3 had verified models at two of three positions (tractor steer and 

drive axles). Set 4 had verified tires at only one of three positions (steer) and had the highest 

combined rolling resistance of the four sets

Stopping Distance

The stopping distance testing was conducted on a Portland cement concrete skid pad with 

nominal dry peak and slide coefficients of friction of 0.94 and 0.89, respectively. Ten service 

brake stops for each tire set were performed on wet pavement, dry pavement, and repeated on 

wet pavement for two different GCVWs—60,000 lb and 80,000 lb—for a total of 60 stops per 

tire set. These tests were performed in a manner similar to the FMVSS No. 121 tests where the 

vehicle was brought up to the target speed (in this case 60-mph) and the service brakes were 

fully applied until the vehicle came to a stop. (Unlike the FMVSS No. 121 stops, however, the 

full tractor-trailer vehicle combination with a braked trailer was under test.) In addition to these 

stops, a set of ten 60-mph stopping tests were also performed for each set of tractor tires with an 

unbraked control trailer and tested in accordance with FMVSS No. 121 protocols. 

A sample run is shown below in Figure 2 for reference. This plot shows the full braking pressure 

being applied at time zero, causing the vehicle to come to a complete stop from its 60-mph initial 

speed. The vehicle deceleration is fairly constant at 20 ft/s2 after approximately 0.5 seconds.

The following figures show the overall stopping distance results. The values shown in Figure 3

represent the averages of the ten stopping distance tests for each scenario, and Figure 4 through 

Figure 7 show each individual stopping test. Note that for clarity and to better facilitate 

comparisons, the y axis does not begin at zero; a range of 200 ft to 300 ft is used throughout this 

report for 60-mph stopping distances.

Table 5 shows the average stopping distances for each set of tests. Also shown is the standard 

deviation for each 10-run set. The standard deviation provides a measure of how closely the 

individual runs are grouped around the overall average value. Table 6 displays the coefficient of 

variation (ratio of the standard deviation to the mean) for each set of tests. All sets of vehicle 

stopping distances had a coefficient of variation below 3%.

Figure 9 below illustrates the confidence intervals for each series of tests based on the calculated 

average and standard deviation. Each marker and corresponding band represents the confidence 

interval for the identified set of ten runs for a given tire-load-pavement condition. The colored 

diamonds mark the average stopping distance for each set of ten tests, and the line on which this 

marker is overlaid indicates the range and limits of the 95% confidence interval (the interval in 

which it can be predicted with 95 % confidence that the actual population average would lie 

given an unlimited number of repetitions).
10

Figure 9. Stopping Distance Confidence Intervals

Of particular interest is that in some cases the confidence interval for the wet test does not 

overlap with that of the wet retest as would be expected. Possible causes for this discrepancy 

include ambient and test track temperature changes and variations in water distribution on the 

test surface.

Maximum and minimum values for each set of runs are shown in Table 7 along with the range 

for stopping distances in each set of runs.

The widest stopping distance range (between maximum and minimum stopping distance for a 

given set of tests) was 25 feet, approximately 10% of the measured stopping distance.

The variation in stopping distance test results is of particular interest for the FMVSS No. 121

stops—the standard provides a maximum stopping distance which must be met by at least one of 

the six runs in a standard FMVSS No. 121 test4

. (Unlike the other stopping distance tests 

performed, the FMVSS No. 121 tests are performed with an unbraked control trailer and thus 

only provide insight into the tractor braking system.) In these tests, the tractor was loaded to 

53,190 lb. (13,180 lb. on the steer axle and 40,010 lb. on the drive axles) with 4,500 lb. on the 

test trailer axle. For this type of tractor-trailer combination vehicle, the maximum stopping 

distance for a 60-mph stop is 250 feet. As apparent from Figure 10, even the longest measured 

stopping distances for each set of ten runs were well under this limit.

Stopping Distance and Deceleration

Following are plots of the stopping distance as a function of the average deceleration (Figure 11

to Figure 15). The upper left group of points represents the wet stopping distance tests (and 

retests) and the lower right group represents the dry testing resulting in higher decelerations and 

shorter stopping distances, as expected. This information for each tire set is shown separately to 

allow comparisons to be made between different test conditions. As expected, the higher test 

weight (dark markers in these plots) generally resulted in longer stopping distances.

Ambient Temperature

One suggested explanation for the differences between stopping distances for the initial sets of 

wet test runs and subsequent retests was the variation in ambient temperature. Due to the number 

of tests and setup required between sets of a given load and tire set, the tests were performed 

over a period of several days. As shown in Figure 16, there was a significant temperature 

variation over the course of testing.

Figure 16. Stopping Distance vs. Ambient Temperature for All Tests

Based on this scatterplot, it would be expected that some of the difference between, for example, 

the Set 1 (blue) and Set 3 (green) tests could be attributed to the temperature variation. Similarly, 

the test runs performed on Set 2 (red) were performed at a wide range of ambient temperatures, 

so some of the variability seen within a single tire set may also be attributable to temperature.

 

To explore this idea, plots were created showing for each set of tires the effect of ambient 

temperature on stopping distance (Figure 17 to Figure 20). It was generally observed that higher 

temperatures resulted in longer stopping distances for a given load and pavement condition. 
16

Figure 17. Stopping Distance vs. Ambient Temperature for Set 1 Tests

Figure 18. Stopping Distance vs. Ambient Temperature for Set 2 Tests
17

Figure 19. Stopping Distance vs. Ambient Temperature for Set 3 Tests

The dry test data for Set 3 (Figure 19) is particularly interesting in that there is very little 

difference in stopping distance between the two weights (light and dark triangles). It would 

generally be expected (as has been shown earlier in this report) that heavier weights correspond 

to longer stopping distances. However, for this tire set, the lower-weight tests (marked by light 

green triangles) were performed at higher temperatures than the heavier-weight tests (marked 

dark green triangles) for the dry pavement condition. In this situation, the temperature effect 

appears to offset the weight effect completely, leading to nearly identical average corrected 

stopping distances of approximately 224 ft.
18

Figure 20. Stopping Distance vs. Ambient Temperature for Set 4 Tests

Because the FMVSS No. 121 stops were performed over a shorter period of time as a group, 

there was much less temperature variation between tire sets, as shown in Figure 21. This 

corresponds to less variability in stopping distance—all stops for all tire types are within an 

approximate 15-ft range.

Rolling Resistance 

Average CRRs 

Rolling resistance tests were performed on six of each model of tire used for the stopping 

distance testing. There was one case where tire damage prevented testing of the sixth tire; in this 

case (Bridgestone R280), only five data points were used to determine the average values. A 

summary of the average CRRs is shown in Figure 22. The lab testing was actually performed 

using a 1.707-m drum, but all values presented in this report have been corrected to the 

equivalent 2.0-m drum, 25 °C values in conformance with ISO 28580.

Figure 22. Average CRRs by Tire Model

The numerical values are shown in Table 8, along with the standard deviation and range 

(difference between maximum and minimum CRR) to provide an indication of the spread of 

data.

Bridgestone M726 EL 8.1637 0.2597 0.5466

The variation between tests of a same tire model was generally with in the expected range of 

0.5 N/kN. However, one test within the Goodyear 399A LHS yielded CRR values approximately

1 N/kN lower than the other test runs; this is reflected in the high standard deviation for the test 

sample (0.3676). This tire was retested to confirm that the unexpectedly low value was valid.

Comparison of CRRs to Stopping Tests

The CRRs are dimensionless parameters which can be used to calculate estimates of rolling 

resistance for a given load. This was done by multiplying the weight for each axle group by the 

2-m drum CRR for the tire model used in that position. This information is presented in Figure 

23 (60,000-lb GCVW) and Figure 24 (80,000-lb GCVW). Although only the nominal weights 

appear in the plot titles for clarity, calculations were performed for each tire set using the actual 

test weights measured at the test track facility’s certified pit scale.
21

Figure 23. Estimated Rolling Resistance by Axle for 60,000-lb GCVW

Figure 24. Estimated Rolling Resistance by Axle for 80,000-lb GCVW

These plots estimate the amount of rolling resistance provided by the tires at each axle. An 

overall vehicle CRR can be calculated by dividing the total rolling resistance forces for each axle 

group by the GCVW to get a dimensionless CRR for each tire set. This was done for each tire 

configuration and compared to the stopping distance test results for both the 60,000-lb and 

80,000-lb GCVWs (Figure 25 and Figure 26, respectively).
22

Figure 25. Stopping Distance vs. Overall Vehicle CRR for 60,000-lb GCVW

Figure 26. Stopping Distance vs. Overall Vehicle CRR for 80,000-lb GCVW

Shown for each series of data is the R2 value, a measure of the portion of variation in stopping 

distance explained by the CRR. A value close to 1 (or -1) would mean a nearly perfect 

correlation between the two variables—that the CRR would be an excellent indicator of stopping 

distance. Values close to zero would indicate that the CRR is practically unrelated to stopping 

distance.

As noted previously, ambient temperature variations did have a noticeable effect on stopping 

distance, but are not screened out in the data used for these plots. Of note is that the correlation 
23

between CRR and stopping distance is negligible for the dry tests for both loading conditions. 

Although the correlation is higher for the wet testing (showing a slight trend in which lower 

CRRs correspond to longer stopping distances), it still does not meet the minimum threshold for 

statistical significance (typically 0.95, sometimes relaxed to 0.9). The strongest correlation 

between CRR and stopping distance was observed in the “80k Wet” data (R2 = 0.7588).

The differences between relative performance of tire sets for the two loads is expected to be 

primarily due to the effect of load on the efficiency of the test vehicle’s braking system, although 

further variation is introduced by ambient temperature differences for the stopping distance tests.

A similar method to that shown for the overall tractor-trailer combination can be used to estimate 

the CRR values for the tractor only in the FMVSS No. 121 stopping distance testing. These tests 

involved a tractor loaded to 53,190 lb. (13,180 lb. on the steer axle and 40,010 lb. on the drive 

axles) with 4,500 lb. on the test trailer axle. These tractor-only CRR estimates are shown for 

each tire set in Table 9.

Tires Estimated Tractor 

CRR (N/kN)

Set 1 6.44

Set 2 5.57

Set 3 6.11

Set 4 7.70

In spite of the wide range of CRRs for the sets of tractor tires (over 2 kN/N between sets 2 and 4, 

or about 33% of the average tractor CRR), all FMVSS No. 121 stopping test runs for all tire sets 

were within the required distance.
24

Conclusions

While all vehicle stopping distance test sets had a coefficient of variation below 3%, ambient test 

temperature was observed to induce variability in the results. It was generally observed that 

higher ambient temperatures resulted in longer stopping distances for a given load and pavement 

condition. The overall results of this research suggest that tire rolling resistance is not a reliable 

indicator of Class 8 tractor-trailer stopping distance. The correlation coefficients (R2 values) for 

linear regressions of wet and dry stopping distance versus overall vehicle rolling resistance 

values did not meet the minimum threshold for statistical significance for any of the test 

conditions. Correlation between CRR and stopping distance was found to be negligible for the 

dry tests for both loading conditions. While correlation was higher for the wet testing (showing a 

slight trend in which lower CRRs correspond to longer stopping distances), it still did not meet 

the minimum threshold for statistical significance. In terms of compliance with Federal safety 

standards, it was found that the stopping distance performance of the vehicle with the four tire 

sets studied in this research (with estimated tractor CRRs which varied by 33%), were well under 

the FMVSS No. 121 stopping distance requirements.
