Tyre Science
Without wanting to sound like a nerd, does anyone know of any books that delve into tyre science in any great depth. I understand tyres as well as any racing book, but i want to take my knowledge to the next level. And yes i know, i need to get out more.

I found this one in the September 2003 issue of RaceCar Engineering.
The Racing & High Performance Tire by Paul Haney. Published by TV motorsports and SAE. |

Unfortuantely, outside of working for a tyre company (and even then, only in the right dept.) it is really tough to get any info.
Try asking what they actually put into a tyre compound one day. The silence is deafening. |

I have the Paul Haney book. Only a fifth of the way through it but it does have more technical detail relating to tyres than all the other race books I have read so far.
Just a pity that it is a typical American book and is heavily padded out with largely pointless 'interviews' with racing 'celebrities'. I guess this type of stuff is a pre-req of any book in the states and you can easily skip over them. |

Just bought the Paul Haney book through Amazon, not cheap mind you. Having said that i think this could be what i am looking for.
But if anyone has anymore ideas then please post them, cheers. |

I now have the book and what a bloody good book it is. It goes in to a lot more detail than racing books. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in tyres. Thanks for the lead,Denis.

Amazon seemed the best place to get it; the price is £46 though. Having said that, if they do not have anymore you can get them from SAE International, at www.ameritech.co.uk/sae
