What Impact Do Car Tires Have on Various Vehicle Performances?
1 Answers
Introduction to the impact of car tires on various vehicle performances: 1. Aspect Ratio: The tire aspect ratio, also known as the height-to-width ratio, is the ratio of the tire's height to its width. The smaller the aspect ratio, the flatter the tire, and the better the vehicle's handling stability. 2. Tire Tread: The original purpose of designing tire treads was to increase the friction between the tire and the ground, thereby preventing tire slippage. However, while increasing friction, it also enhances car performances related to friction, such as power and handling. 3. Tire Pressure: High tire pressure within a safe range reduces tire friction and adhesion, improving fuel economy, but it has a certain impact on braking effectiveness. Low tire pressure increases fuel consumption and makes steering heavier but can enhance the tire's self-aligning torque. Both excessively high and low tire pressures can damage the tires, affecting their lifespan, and may lead to tire blowouts.
