  2. 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.

  3. Energy-efficient driving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy-efficient_driving

    Underinflated tires wear out faster and lose energy to rolling resistance because of tire deformation. The loss for a car is approximately 1.0 percent for every 2 psi (0.1 bar; 10 kPa) drop in pressure of all four tires. [7] Improper wheel alignment and high engine oil kinematic viscosity also reduce fuel efficiency.

  5. Tire code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_code

    To take a common example, 195/55R16 would mean that the nominal width of the tire is approximately 195 mm at the widest point, the height of the side-wall of the tire is 55% of the width (107 mm in this example) and that the tire fits 16-inch-diameter (410 mm) rims. The code gives a direct calculation of the theoretical diameter of the tire.

  6. Radial tire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_tire

    A cross-section of a tire. Number 12 indicates the radial ply. Numbers 14 and 16 are bias plies. 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).
