Meme I made the other day but thought it’d be relevant to the Dodge SRT Demon’s 315 tyres:

I haven’t watched the video yet, but of course wider tyres provide more grip (up to a point)? I feel like I had this assumption since my birth. I hope I wasn’t wrong for my entire life, but with EE you never know…
Speaking about tyres
Great video! Now I know what to do if I want to give my car more grip. Science strikes again! 😊
In offroad types of driving, it can be smarter to go with skinny (width) tires depending on terrain, as seen with the old jeep Willys used in war. The idea being instead of wide track tires trying to ‘float’ on deep mud, the tall but skinny tires perform better in that situation due to a high axle position and the skinny tires practically cut through the loose mud at the surface, in order to find that ‘bite’ which allows for much better overall traction. Of course you wouldn’t want to do this setup in loose dunes, it all depends on the terrain you are trying to conquer.
My brain has been melted
It looks like USA dosn’t use Summer tyres - is that true?
In germany we always switch from winter to summer tyres…. Some use all seasons but they have a very bad image.
Bad comparison. There’s no control. All the tires are different with high variation in tread patterns.
R should be R^2, inconclusive, use the same car with different tyre widths to get rid of all noises. This is abenchmark betwen different makes instead of tyre width vs. grip. Different weight distribution during braking, ABS, max braking force, driver(s), speed at which breaking occurs…
