Abstract: Provided is a travel evaluation method of making an evaluation related to travel of a vehicle capable of traveling in a leaning position, the method including: obtaining a tire force which is an external force exerted on a wheel of the vehicle from a ground surface; and deriving an evaluation index related to travel of the vehicle. The evaluation index includes a positive evaluation index as a rating of a positive evaluation related to travel of the vehicle. In deriving the evaluation index, the positive evaluation index is set higher as the tire force increases, and the evaluation index is corrected based on an influential parameter other than the tire force.

Abstract: A tire force estimating device estimates tire forces which are forces applied from a ground surface to a wheel of a vehicle which turns in a bank state in which a vehicle body is tilted around a forward-rearward axis. The tire force estimating device includes a first tire force estimating section which estimates the force applied from the ground surface to the wheel, based on a change over time of a motion state of the vehicle body within a plane perpendicular to the forward-rearward axis.
