| Abstract | A study was conducted to compare ultrasonic inspection data from 134 tires prior and subsequent to road tests in order to determine whether excessive tread wear could be related to characteristics detected by the ultrasonic inspection. Analysis of data on all tires after road test resulted in the finding that nine of the tires exhibited substantial changes which may be related to abnormal tread wear. |
