To compute longitudinal force, lateral force, and self-aligning torque in the contact coordinate system, the user must perform a test to determine the precise operation conditions.
The conditions of interest are:
•Case I: 
•Case II:
and

•Case III:
and

: Lateral Tire Stiffness by Slip Angle
: Lateral Tire Stiffness by Camber
Angle
The lateral force
can be decomposed into two
components:
and
. The two components are in the same
direction if
and in opposite
direction if
.
