  2. Tire code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_code

    The DOT code [1] is an alphanumeric character sequence molded into the sidewall of the tire and allows the identification of the tire and its age. The code is mandated by the U.S. Department of Transportation [2] but is used worldwide. [3] The DOT code is also useful in identifying tires subject to product recall [4] or at end of life due to age.

  3. 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.

  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. Uniform Tire Quality Grading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Tire_Quality_Grading

    UTQG ratings (top) and tire code (bottom) on sidewall of Continental ContiProContact tire. Uniform Tire Quality Grading, commonly abbreviated as UTQG, is a set of standards for passenger car tires that measures a tire's treadwear, temperature resistance and traction. The UTQG was created by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in ...

  6. 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 ...

  7. Downforce - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downforce

    Downforce is a downwards lift force created by the aerodynamic features of a vehicle. If the vehicle is a car, the purpose of downforce is to allow the car to travel faster by increasing the vertical force on the tires, thus creating more grip. If the vehicle is a fixed-wing aircraft, the purpose of the downforce on the horizontal stabilizer is ...
