Search for tyre testing consortium (TTC) on this forum.

A good start would be to calculate the torque about the steering axis for a given combination of caster, KPI, trail and offset at a given lateral force. If you don't want to purchase the TTC data I'd go to www.avonracing.com (http://www.avonracing.com) and download data for their FF2000 slicks and use that as a start.
