Abstract

To provide a method for evaluating tire performance, an evaluation device, and an evaluation program.SOLUTION: A method for evaluating tire performance, comprises the steps of: causing a machine learning model on which machine learning is performed such that a measurement value of an evaluation target tire serving as an evaluation target is input and a prediction value for predicting an evaluation result of a driver with respect to at least one of ride comfort and steering stability of a vehicle on which the evaluation target tire is mounted is output; and inputting a plurality of values corresponding to the measured value and outputting a plurality of predicted values for the plurality of input values; and extracting an input value corresponding to the predicted value that matches a condition from a plurality of output predicted values. An evaluation result is a result of evaluation based on at least one of the ride comfort and the steering stability of the vehicle on which a reference tire is mounted.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
