Can regular tires be used for cornering?
1 Answers
Regular tires cannot be used for cornering. Tires suitable for cornering: Theoretically, the tire with the largest contact patch when the bike is leaned over is the most suitable for cornering. This means tires with a certain curvature, where slick tires have the largest contact area. Therefore, slick tires theoretically provide the most friction because they have no tread patterns, maximizing the contact area. However, slick tires have a characteristic: they need to reach their optimal operating temperature to deliver the best grip. Therefore, semi-slick tires are generally used for cornering, as their softness is second only to slick tires but higher than regular tires. Tire maintenance: Make it a habit to check tire pressure before driving; visit a tire shop every two to three months to check tire pressure; according to the car maintenance manual, rotate four new tires every 10,000 to 15,000 kilometers.
