Interesting Tyre Video

Shows just how much punishment the front tyres have to take through cornering loads.

Very interesting, i'm surprised at how often the tyre loses contact with the track. It almost looks deflated in the hard corners though!

That's more extreme than I thought.

It's called pneumatic trail, all tyres will do that to a certain extent, it's how you get your cornering force.

 

Cool video!

Have a look for some slomo top fuel take-offs if you get bored. Their sidewalls crumple even more spectacularly, you'll be surprised just how much slip there is in the tyres due to hysteresis.

Amazing stuff,i don't know if i would want to think about it when cornering hard though!

Hysteresis is a little different.

[24seven 104]

It's the deformation of the tyre which in effect causes the slip I was on about in my last post.

[Cameron 16]

That's just slip angle, hysteresis is how the tyre moulds around the aggregate.

It could also be applied to how it transmits the impacts and the internal carcass damping

Could also be applied to how much I aint bovvard!
