2. Tire code - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_code

   3- or 4-digit number: The section width (cross-section) of the tire in inches. 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%.

3. Tire uniformity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_uniformity

   Conicity is a parameter based on lateral force behavior. It is the characteristic that describes the tire's tendency to roll like a cone. This tendency affects the steering performance of the vehicle. [3] In order to determine conicity, lateral force must be measured in both clockwise (LFCW) and counterclockwise direction (LFCCW).

4. Wheel sizing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_sizing

   Wheels with Asanti 28 in (710 mm) rims on a police Hummer H2 car. 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.

5. ISO 5775 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_5775

   The inner width of the rim on which the tire is mounted should be about 65% of the tire's nominal section width for tires smaller than 30 mm and 55% for those larger. The section height of a tire is usually identical to its section width (for tires less than 28 mm, 2.5 mm have to be added to the width to get the height).

6. Contact patch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_patch

   For example, a 10% change in load or inflation pressure usually does not result in a 10% change in the contact patch area [3] because the load or pressure on a tire can be altered freely, and the contact patch area is affected by the tire geometry and stiffness. Further, the size of the contact patch cannot be simply calculated as load divided ...

7. Low rolling resistance tire - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_rolling_resistance_tire

   Low rolling resistance tires are designed to reduce the energy loss as a tire rolls, decreasing the required rolling effort — and in the case of automotive applications, improving vehicle fuel efficiency as approximately 5–15% of the fuel consumed by a typical gas car may be used to overcome rolling resistance.
