PFT tram wheel profile is considered the standard profile in Poland. Despite its modern design this profile, in combination with the most commonly used rail profiles in Poland it may lead to instability, even at regular operating speeds. Although the relationship between Y/Q forces is not at a dangerous level in these cases, it leads to the increase in wheels and rails wear and the deterioration of the tram operating properties. The influence of selected, possibly small PFT profile modifications, was analyzed. These modifications were made to increase the stability on a variety of rails, an analysis of these modifications on the hypothetical process of wear of wheel/rail parts was also performed.
