1.1 ,This test method covers the measurement of peak braking coefficient (PBC) of paved surfaces using a standard reference test tire (SRTT) as described in Specification E1136 or F2493 that represents current technology passenger car radial tires. General test procedures and limitations are presented for determining peak braking coefficient independent of surface conditions. Actual surface test conditions are determined and controlled by the user at the time of test. Test and surface condition documentation procedures and details are specified. This measurement quantifies the peak braking coefficient at the time of test, and does not necessarily represent a maximum or fixed value.
