traction requirements, maybe required traction Explanation: In US usage at least, the term used in conjunction with tires is simply traction. So phrases like traction requirement or traction power needed should work just fine. daN stands for deka-Newton and is a unit of measurement for tractive force (cf. www.bc-verlag.de/UVVen/8/D3A1.HTM www.roettgersketten.de/deutsch/zur/zur_03.html) |

traction requirement Explanation: Tire Traction Devices The California vehicle code section 605 defines tire traction devices as follows: " Tire Traction Devices are devices or mechanisms having a composition and design capable of improving vehicle traction, braking and cornering ability upon snow or ice-covered surfaces. Tire traction devices shall be constructed and assembled to provide sufficient structural integrity and to prevent accidental detachment from vehicles. Tire traction devices shall, at the time of manufacture or final assembly, bear a permanent impression indicating the name, initials or trademark of the assembling company or primary manufacturer, and the country in which the devices were manufactured or assembled in final form."

required/necessary traction Explanation: "the fact that the tire has good ground contact doesn't necessarily mean that it has the minimum required traction / minimum traction necessary" Zugkraft = traction refers to the tire's ability to grip the road and not spin out when the vehicle is pulling a load. Traction is technically a physical force, but the words 'force' and 'effort' would be used to describe the engine moving the tires and not the tires themselves. The tires, however, must have enough traction that the vehicle can do what it was designed for. Hope this helps |
