| -2- On flat concrete the cornering power under normal conditions is about 35% higher than on the steel drum, but it falls off much more rapidly under both high and low loads due to the fact that these occur at high slip angles which are beyond the "limit of proportionality" (5 or 6 degrees) of cornering power of the tire.
