Abstract: This study presents the results of research related to agriculture tire deformation under variable vertical load and inflation pressure. The research objects were two tires of the same size and different internal structures. Three levels of inflation pressure and five levels of vertical load were used. The loaded tire with each inflation pressure was scanned using the 3D scanner—the effect of this operation was a three-dimensional image of a tire part (near the place of contact with the surface). The next step was the creation of vertical and horizontal cross-sections of the tire profile, which allowed the analysis of tested parameters: profile height, location of the point of maximum tire deflection, the width of the tire profile, and the area of horizontal cross-sections. Finally, the mathematical model was formulated, describing contact areas of horizontal cross-sections as a function of the factors. Based on the conducted research, it was stated that an increase in vertical load caused reductions in both types of heights. Moreover, the width of tire profiles and the area of horizontal cross-sections increased due to the increase in vertical load (for bias-ply, increases were smaller than for radial tires). Similar changes were observed after the reduction of inflation pressure.
