2. Pneumatic trail - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumatic_trail

   Pneumatic trail or trail of the tire is a trail-like effect generated by compliant tires rolling on a hard surface and subject to side loads, as in a turn. More technically, it is the distance that the resultant force of side-slip occurs behind the geometric center of the contact patch .

3. Tire code - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_code

   Starting in 1972 tires were specified by load rating, using a letter code. In practice, a higher load rating tire was also a wider tire. In this system a tire had a letter, optionally followed by "R" for radial tires, followed by the aspect ratio, a dash and the diameter – C78-15 or CR78-15 for bias and radial, respectively. Each diameter of ...

4. Off-road tire - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Off-road_tire

   Off-road cycle tires, colloquially called knobbies, [4] may be found on motocross and enduro motorcycles, ATVs, and mountain bikes. [1] Tires for single-track vehicles and ATVs have a curved profile such that some tread only contacts the ground during turning. Depending on the model of tire, an off-road capable tire may or may not be approved ...

   Changing a wheel on a Lockheed P-3 Orion aircraft Tires on the wheels of a bogie on a Boeing 777. An aircraft tire or tyre is designed to withstand extremely heavy loads for short durations. [1] The number of tires required for aircraft increases with the weight of the aircraft, as the weight of the airplane needs to be distributed more evenly.

7. D-value (transport) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-value_(transport)

   The corresponding formula for a truck and trailer combination, used to determine the required D-value of a coupling, is: T = Weight of towing vehicle including the vertical load on the fifth wheel R = Total weight of the loaded semi-trailer U = Vertical load on the fifth wheel g = Acceleration due to gravity (assumed to be 9.81 m/s 2 )
