Going on with further simulations, I analyzed the behaviour of the tire force Fx as function of the longitudinal slip, shown in the image below. Could someone explaining me the reason why Fx takes only negative values? What am I missing? Thank you in advance!

Is it the same as Fx (force get by "rig. ReportTireForce()" times the radius of the tire?

Moreover, I plotted the force along x and it shows an irregular behaviour (it seems affected by noises) and I am not fully understanding the reason. Someone could help me? Thank you in advance.
