description abstractIn an attempt to improve tire braking characteristics on wet surfaces at high speeds, preliminary tests were made on a tire treadmill to determine the effectiveness of two methods of clearing away water ahead of a braking wheel. One method consisted of mounting a free-rolling or idling wheel ahead of a braking wheel, and the other method consisted of directing an air jet on the water-covered surface ahead of a braking wheel. Tests were made with smooth and diamond-treaded 3.00 X 7 tires (about 12 inches in diameter) on the braking wheel and a smooth 3.00 X 7 tire on the idling wheel. In the blowing tests, two nozzles having different diameters were used with air-jet pressures up to about 100 pounds per square inch. Measurements of tire friction coefficients were made with 0.09 inch of water on the belt of the treadmill over a range of speeds from 26 to 93 feet per second.
