  2. Motorcycle tyre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorcycle_tyre

    A motorcycle tyre (spelt tire in American English) is the outer part of motorcycle wheel, attached to the rim, providing traction, resisting wear, absorbing surface irregularities, and allowing the motorcycle to turn via countersteering. The two tyres' contact patches are the motorcycle's connection to the ground, and so are fundamental to the ...

  3. European Tyre and Rim Technical Organisation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Tyre_and_Rim...

    The European Tyre and Rim Technical Organisation (ETRTO) exists to specify and harmonise sizes of rims and their associated pneumatic tyres across the European Union. ETRTO sizes apply to rims and tyres for vehicles of all types, including bicycles. The great advantage of ETRTO sizing is that it is unambiguous; previously, nominal dimensions ...

  4. Wheel sizing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_sizing

    The wheel size is the size designation of a wheel given by its diameter, width, and offset. The diameter of the wheel is the diameter of the cylindrical surface on which the tire bead rides. The width is the inside distance between the bead seat faces. The offset is the distance from the wheel's true centerline (half the width) to the wheel's ...

  5. Tire code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_code

    As an example, if a tire size has two sets of numbers (6-12, 5.00-15, 11.2-24), then the first number (5.00-15) is the approximate width in inches, and the second number (5.00-15) is the rim diameter in inches. If a tire size has three sets of numbers (15x6.00-6, 26x12.00-12, 31x15.50-15), then the first number (26x12.00-12) is the approximate ...

  6. Contact patch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_patch

    Contact patch. The contact patch is the portion of a vehicle's tire that is in actual contact with the road surface. It is commonly used in the discussion of pneumatic (i.e. pressurized) tires, where the term is used strictly to describe the portion of the tire’s tread that touches the road surface. The term “footprint” is used almost ...

    The increase in lean angle due to a tire thickness of 2t can be calculated as ⁡ (⁡ ()) where φ is the ideal lean angle, and h is the height of the center of mass. [9] For example, a motorcycle with a 12 inch wide rear tire will have t = 6 inches. If the combined bike and rider center of mass is at a height of 26 inches, then a 25° lean ...
