2. Overhang (vehicles) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overhang_(vehicles)

   The longer the front overhang, the smaller is the approach angle, and thus lesser the car's ability to climb or descend steep ramps without damaging the front bumpers. [1] Typically, the rear overhang is larger on rear-wheel drive cars, while the front overhang is larger on front-wheel drive cars. [2]

3. Approach and departure angles - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approach_and_departure_angles

   Approach (α) and departure angle (β) of a vehicle. Approach angle is the maximum angle of a ramp onto which a vehicle can climb from a horizontal plane without interference. [1] It is defined as the angle between the ground and the line drawn between the front tire and the lowest-hanging part of the vehicle at the front overhang.

4. Tire code - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_code

   Some manufacturers will install a speed governor if a vehicle is ordered with tires rated below the vehicle's maximum speed. In some parts of the European Union, e.g. Germany, it is allowed to mount tires with a lower speed rating code if the car manufacturer specifies tires with a very high speed rating in the registration documents and the ...

5. Breakover angle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakover_angle

   β° = Breakover angle; C = Underside of chassis; W = Wheel; G = Ground; M = Midpoint of wheelbase Example of a vehicle at a significant breakover angle.. Breakover angle or rampover angle is the maximum possible supplementary angle (usually expressed in degrees) that a vehicle, with at least one forward wheel and one rear wheel, can drive over without the apex of that angle touching any point ...

6. Wheelbase - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheelbase

   The vehicle will then ride lower. The amount the vehicle sinks will depend on counter acting forces, like the size of the tires, tire pressure, and the spring rate of the suspension. If the vehicle is accelerating or decelerating, extra torque is placed on the rear or front tire respectively. The equation relating the wheelbase, height above ...

7. Tyre label - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyre_label

   The second test (the "skid trailer" test) is usually performed using a tow vehicle and trailer. The trailer is fitted with the tyres being tested and the average maximum braking force that can be applied through the tyres, under a high proportion (60 - 90%) of the tyres' maximum load, is measured as the combination travels at a constant speed ...
