What Do Front Track and Rear Track Mean?
1 Answers
Front track refers to the distance between the center planes of the two front tires, while rear track refers to the distance between the center planes of the two rear tires. Detailed description of front track and rear track: 1. Generally speaking, a wider track provides better driving comfort, but some domestic cars without power steering may have a very 'heavy' steering wheel if the front track is too wide, affecting driving comfort. Additionally, track width also influences the overall width, total weight, lateral stability, and safety of the vehicle. 2. The difference between front track and rear track mainly manifests when the car takes a high-speed turn: the wider the front track, the smaller the moment of force causing body roll during the turn, as the outer front wheel bears more force. Therefore, the front track is usually wider than the rear track. If the rear track is wider than the front track, the benefit is increased stability during high-speed straight-line driving. 3. In daily driving, choosing a car with a wider front track and narrower rear track can ensure better maneuverability in urban areas, making it easier to turn around in the city. On the other hand, choosing a car with a narrower front track and wider rear track can enhance vehicle handling, providing stronger stability at high speeds, more precise steering, and greater agility in the front end.
