Abstract

A method of quantifying the utilization of a maximum grip potential of a tire running on the ground. At two distinct azimuth angles, at least two respective values are determined for a differential extension of the tread of the tire or for a shear of the tread that is homogeneous with said differential extension. The utilization is quantified with the help of a function of the two determined values.
