An adequate modeling of the tire is crucial to properly reproduce vehicle vertical behavior in simulations and to evaluate the influence of the tire in the overall performance of the suspension system. This paper introduced vehicle single-point tire models and, thereafter, investigated the influence of the excitation frequency and inflation pressure on the damping and stiffness coefficients of the proposed tires experimentally. In this manner, a test-bench was used to obtain the model parameters of a light vehicle tire and a motorcycle tire. Given the obtained results, it has been observed that both factors have a significant effect on the parameters of the proposed tire models. Moreover, a quarter car suspension model was investigated using the modelled tires to illustrate the influence of the correct characterization of the tire on the vertical suspension performance.
