The FSAE TTC just passed 400 members (400 and 401 earlier today). Nice of FSAE.com to keep this big TTC thread sticky. A few thoughts:
+ Thanks to all the TTC contributors -- Calspan TIRF (show those logos!), tire companies, WSU for hosting our secure site, other industry supporters and volunteers...and of course all the member schools. The TTC has been far more successful than the founders ever imagined.
+ Not sure if your university is a member? Check the list (spreadsheet) at,

+ If your school is a member, you can register for the forum with your university domain email at, http://sae.wsu.edu/ttc/
It might take a day or two to be approved.
+ Not sure of the TTC license terms? Check the section named, "USE OF THE DATA – FSAE TTC LICENSE AGREEMENT" on this page, http://www.millikenresearch.com/fsaettc.html
To maintain our student discount at Calspan, it is important that there is no commercial use of the tire data or posting on the open internet. The TTC secure forum is the place to discuss the tire data in detail.
+ Round 6 is tentatively scheduled for February 2015. Please post requests and suggestions to the secure forum--
‹ Tire Testing < Round 6 Pre-Test Discussion.
-- Doug Milliken for the TTC
This post is to announce TTC Round 6 testing:
+ Testing predicted to start on Wednesday afternoon May 6th at Calspan. End date could be Saturday May 9, or early the next week.
+ After gauging student interest, reviewing the tires currently used at Formula SAE/Student events and talking with the tire manufacturers (including some not represented below), we have chosen the following tire constructions:
1. The latest Continental 13" tire
2. Hoosier – 20.5 x 6.0 – 13 R25B A2500 (Item 43127)
3. Hoosier – 20.5 x 7.0 – 13 R25B A2500 (Item 43163)
4. Hoosier – 18.0 x 7.5 – 10 R25B (Item 43105)
* 5. Hoosier – 6.0 / 18.0 – 10 LCO (Item 41100)
* 6. Hoosier – 18.0 x 6.0 – 10 R25B (Item 43101)
Tires with a * were tested in Round 5 and will have limited retests performed on them, incorporating the new elements of the Round 6 tests.
+ As in previous rounds, all tires will be tested on two different rim widths. Rim widths will be similar to previous rounds.
+ Cornering (free-rolling) and drive/brake/combined tests will generally mimic Round 5. We have reduced the number of inclination angles to allow time for a few new tests.
+ New in Round 6 will be some relaxation length tests (transient tests) and some cornering tests at different roadway speeds. We are currently finalizing the test matrix with Calspan.
+ Data will be posted to the private forum when available. It usually takes a few weeks to receive all the data from Calspan and finalize all the supporting material.
+ TTC members are welcome to attend the tests in person. If you are interested, please contact Dr. Kasprzak. Calspan is located in Buffalo, New York, USA.
We will provide updates on the private forum as they become available.
As always, thanks to all that make the TTC possible.
I've started a new Round 6 topic, but also posting here in the "sticky" thread.
TTC Round 6 data has been posted on the TTC forum: sae.wsu.edu/ttc
You will need a TTC forum account to access the data. There are instructions for registering on the forum.
Also, the TTC public page has been updated with a list of the tires tested and other information:

Thanks to everyone who contributed to Round 6!

Round 7 tests were conducted in March 2016 and the data has now been posted for download by TTC members. Round 7 is a continuation of Round 6 and features four Avon constructions. The tests were funded by Cooper Tire & Rubber Company, parent company to Avon Tyres.
An updated list of all the tires that TTC has tested can be found on the public page,

The TTC forum has moved to our own domain, http://www.fsaettc.org We thank Washington State University for hosting the forum from 2009 through June 2016.
The move also included an upgrade to the latest version of phpBB, and the database was moved successfully. Please "Contact us" (bottom of any forum page) if you find a problem.
Some buttons you may remember from the home page are now on the "Quick links" pull down menu.
If you have links to pages on the original site, you will need to update the base portion of the URL.

In June 2016 the FSAE TTC private forum moved to http://www.fsaettc.org from http://sae.wsu.edu/ttc/ . The redirect link on the old site is now gone; we recommend updating browser bookmarks and other links. Thanks to Washington State University for hosting the TTC private forum for the last 7 years.
