Abstract

See full text

A tire characteristic determination system (100) is disclosed. The tire characteristic determination system (100) includes a memory device that stores tire- engaging data (XYZ2, XYZ10, XYZ15, XYZ23, XYZ26, XYZ34) related to one or more tire- engaging values (X150a1, Y150a1, Z150a1; X150a2, Y150a2', Z150a2; X150b1', Z150b1; X150b2', Z150b2; X150c') to be utilized for spatially manipulating a tire (T) about a wheel (W) for forming a tire-wheel assembly (TW). The tire characteristic determination device (102, 102a / 102b1 / 102b2 / 102b3 / 102c / 102d / 102e) includes a tire-engaging test probe (112a) that is urged adjacent the tire (T) at one or more tire displacement distances (Dx / Dx ') or is urged against the tire with one or more amounts of urging forces (Fx / Fx '). The tire characteristic determination device (102, 102a / 102b1 / 102b2 / 102b3 / 102c / 102d / 102e) is communicatively-coupled to the memory device for communicating the one or more tire displacement distances (Dx / Dx') or the one or more amounts of urging forces (Fx / Fx ') to the memory device.
