A washer-type strain sensor, which generates an output representing a load acting thereon, is arranged between the vehicle body and the wheel. A dynamic load acting on the wheel is measured on the basis of the outputs of the strain sensor when the vehicle is traveling. A lateral force, a lateral-force coefficient, a slip angle, and steering characteristics of the wheel are obtained on the basis of the measured dynamic load, and thereby the cornering characteristics of the wheel are obtained.
