The FIALA tire models produces three forces and two moments on the wheel part:

Longitudinal (braking/traction) force
Lateral (side) Force
Vertical (normal) Force
Rolling Resistance Moment (torque)
(Self) Aligning Torque

The torque produced about the longitudinal direction of travel (Tx, Overtuning Moment) is neglected because of the assumptions made (uniform distribution of the forces in the contact patch and no camber angle effects considered).
