5.0 out of 5 stars
Great engineering and vehicle dynamics book!,
By Zachary Cude (Tx United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tires, Suspension, and Handling, Second Edition [R-168] (Hardcover)
Great book, kind of in the same category as "Race Car Vehicle Dynamics," but without such a racing orientation. Great explanation on the dynamics of tires. Slip angles, where tire judder comes from, and the like. Can get pretty mathematical in it's explanations, but since that was what I was looking for (mathematics explains everything) that part was fine. It has a great explanation of roll centers, withe the accompaning diagrams of jacking and the forces and their directions. Really helped me understand that complex subject. A MUST HAVE FOR ANY AUTOMOBILE OR RACECAR ENGINEER!!

5.0 out of 5 stars
Heavy on math but lots of useful info,
By Robert Bowen "Automotive Reader and Writer" (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tires, Suspension, and Handling, Second Edition [R-168] (Hardcover)
This book is all that it promises - if you are unsatisfied with the explanations given for handling behavior in "consumer-level" handling books you won't be disappointed. On the other hand, if you aren't an engineer you might want to review your college math textbooks to get through some of the explanations.
