With the advent of the electrification era, rolling noise is set to become a dominant source of noise for electric vehicles due to the phasing out of the internal combustion engine. The vibrations generated by tire-road interaction are transferred through the wheel center to the knuckle and subsequently through the vehicle cabin. With the advance of the simulation techniques, the description of tire operational phenomena has improved. However, some limitations are present. These include low computational efficiency in a full-vehicle simulation and absence of direct validation with the real tire in the same operational conditions. Siemens Digital Industries Software currently offers a lightweight combined test and model-based solution for tire NVH for the assessment of structure-borne noise. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the potential of a pragmatic approach able to capture the static tire dynamic behavior up to 300 Hz.
