Information about dynamic tire properties has always been important for drivers of wheel driven vehicles. With the increasing amount of systems in modern vehicles designed to measure and control the behavior of the vehicle information regarding dynamic tire properties has grown even more important. In this thesis a number of methods for modeling and estimating dynamic tire properties have been implemented and evaluated. The more general issue of estimating model parameters in linear and non-linear vehicle models is also addressed. We conclude that the slope of the tire slip curve seems to dependent on the stiffness of the road surface and introduce the term combined stiffness. We also show that it is possible to estimate both longitudinal and lateral combined stiffness using only standard vehicle sensors.
