Grib, I believe he is making the observation that there is more actual exposed rubber surface area, when you consider all the exposed areas of rubber (ie as you would in a heat transfer equation) , a

Surprisingly enough, not one single formula that I have run accross has tire diameter involved. Pressure, yes, diameter, no. Might be so, I just maybe haven't found it yet. mayf -- Original Message -

One thing I have learned in LSR is that there are no absolutes. Your rain tires worked well on your car, but would they have done the job on a roadster? Prollly not, based on opinions/experience from

Ed I think the whole idea is to separate the aero issues with the tire/rolling load issues. The rolling load numbers encompass bearing losses, weight , side wall harmonics and tread squirm. those all

As I understand it the reason for slick tires is that they increase surface area and theoretically increase traction on a dry surface. Treaded tires have less contact area, but have edges to grip and

IMHO, the drag on a tires is complex to say the least. Maybe that is why there is so little data available on the subject. The tire's drag coefficient must be somwhat like sticking a flat plate into

Hey Guys One thing to think about is the packing of salt in the wheel well,enclosed area and how much clearance you might need. The salt packing changes along with the wetness of the salt. Our friend
