2. Bicycle and motorcycle dynamics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_and_motorcycle...

   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 must be increased by 7.28°: a nearly 30% increase. If the tires are only 6 inches wide, then the lean angle increase is only 3.16°, just under half.

3. Motorcycle tyre - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorcycle_tyre

   A rear motorcycle tyre for street use. 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.

4. Tire balance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_balance

   Tires with large unbalances are downgraded or rejected. When tires are fitted to wheels at the point of sale, they are measured again on a balancing machine, and correction weights are applied to counteract their combined unbalance. Tires may be rebalanced if driver perceives excessive vibration. Tire balancing is distinct from wheel alignment.

5. Slip (vehicle dynamics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slip_(vehicle_dynamics)

   In (automotive) vehicle dynamics, slip is the relative motion between a tire and the road surface it is moving on. This slip can be generated either by the tire's rotational speed being greater or less than the free-rolling speed (usually described as percent slip), or by the tire's plane of rotation being at an angle to its direction of motion (referred to as slip angle).

6. Tire code - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_code

   Prior to 1964, tires were all made to a 90% aspect ratio. Tire size was specified as the tire width in inches and the diameter in inches – for example, 6.50-15. [24] From 1965 to the early 1970s, tires were made to an 80% aspect ratio. Tire size was again specified by width in inches and diameter in inches.

7. Circle of forces - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle_of_forces

   For a real-world tire, the circle is likely to be closer to an ellipse, with the y axis slightly longer than the x axis.) In the example, the tire is generating a component of force in the x direction ( F x ) which, when transferred to the vehicle's chassis via the suspension system in combination with similar forces from the other tires, will ...
