  2. Tire code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_code

    If the tire diameter is not given, section widths ending in zero (e.g., 7.00 or 10.50) indicate the aspect ratio of 92%, while section widths not ending in zero (e.g., 7.05 or 10.55) indicate the aspect ratio of 82%. These aspect ratios often vary from today's tire manufacturer specification. Construction of the fabric of the tire: B: bias belt

  3. Wheel sizing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_sizing

    Modern road tires have several measurements associated with their size as specified by tire codes like 225/70R14. The first number in the code (e.g., "225") represents the nominal tire width in millimeters. This is followed by the aspect ratio (e.g.,"70"), which is the height of the sidewall expressed as a percentage of the nominal tire width.

  4. Plus sizing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plus_sizing

    Plus sizing is the practice of replacing an automotive wheel with one of a larger diameter fitted with a new tire of lower aspect ratio so that the new tire has close to the same diameter and circumference as the original tire to minimize any changes in speedometer accuracy, torque and traction control, while reducing sidewall flex and (generally) increasing cornering ability.

  5. Aspect ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspect_ratio

    The aspect ratio of a geometric shape is the ratio of its sizes in different dimensions. For example, the aspect ratio of a rectangle is the ratio of its longer side to its shorter side—the ratio of width to height, [1][2] when the rectangle is oriented as a "landscape". The aspect ratio is most often expressed as two integer numbers ...

  6. Slip ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slip_ratio

    Slip ratio is a means of calculating and expressing the slipping behavior of the wheel of an automobile.It is of fundamental importance in the field of vehicle dynamics, as it allows to understand the relationship between the deformation of the tire and the longitudinal forces (i.e. the forces responsible for forward acceleration and braking) acting upon it.

  7. Canons of page construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canons_of_page_construction

    The geometrical solution of the construction of Van de Graaf's canon, which works for any page width:height ratio, enables the book designer to position the type area in a specific area of the page. Using the canon, the proportions are maintained while creating pleasing and functional margins of size 1/9 and 2/9 of the page size. [ 6 ]

  8. Tamil units of measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamil_units_of_measurement

    The Tamil units of measurement is a system of measurements that was traditionally used in ancient Tamil -speaking parts of South India. These ancient measurement systems spanned systems of counting, distances, volumes, time, weight as well as tools used to do so. While modern India uses the metric system International System of Units (Tamil ...

  9. Radial tire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_tire

    A radial tire (more properly, a radial-ply tire) is a particular design of vehicular tire. In this design, the cord plies are arranged at 90 degrees to the direction of travel, or radially (from the center of the tire). Radial tire construction climbed to 100% market share in North America following Consumer Reports finding the superiority of ...
