Rolling Resistance Coefficient Examples
Table of rolling resistance coefficient examples:
| Crr | b | Description |
| 0.0003 to 0.0004 | "Pure rolling resistance" Railroad steel wheel on steel rail | |
| 0.0010 to 0.0024 | 0.5 mm | Railroad steel wheel on steel rail. Passenger rail car about 0.0020 |
| 0.001 to 0.0015 | 0.1 mm | Hardened steel ball bearings on steel |
| 0.0019 to 0.0065 | Mine car cast iron wheels on steel rail | |
| 0.0022 to 0.005 | Production bicycle tires at 120 psi (8.3 bar) and 50 km/h (31 mph), measured on rollers | |
| 0.0025 | Special Michelin solar car/eco-marathon tires | |
| 0.005 | Dirty tram rails (standard) with straights and curves | |
| 0.0045 to 0.008 | Large truck (Semi) tires | |
| 0.0055 | Typical BMX bicycle tires used for solar cars | |
| 0.0062 to 0.015 | Car tire measurements | |
| 0.010 to 0.015 | Ordinary car tires on concrete | |
| 0.0385 to 0.073 | Stage coach (19th century) on dirt road. Soft snow on road for worst case. | |
| 0.3 | Ordinary car tires on sand |
For example, in earth gravity, a car of 1000 kg on asphalt will need a force of around 100 newtons for rolling (1000 kg × 9.81 m/s2 × 0.01 = 98.1 N).
