As wheel force is acceptable translation of Tractive Effort, that describes what happens between the tire patch and the road. Tractive Effort is a tangential force, it can be described as,
Tractive Effort = (TE * R1 * R2 / r) E
Where: R1 = Transmission Ratio, R2 = Final Drive Ratio, r = Tire Radius,
E = Drivetrain Efficiency
