2. Ground pressure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_pressure

   Ground pressure is the pressure exerted on the ground by the tires or tracks of a motorized vehicle, and is one measure of its potential mobility, [1] especially over soft ground. It also applies to the feet of a walking person or machine. Pressure is measured in the SI unit of pascals (Pa).

3. Rolligon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolligon

   Tires inflated to 7 psi (48 kPa) Rolligon is a trademark name for large, low-pressure tires, designed to traverse the soft ground surfaces of the tundra.The product was invented by William Albee in 1951 after he had seen Inuit using inflated seal hides to drag a heavy boat on shore.

4. Tire-pressure monitoring system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire-pressure_monitoring...

   A tire-pressure monitoring system (TPMS) monitors the air pressure inside the pneumatic tires on vehicles. [1] A TPMS reports real-time tire-pressure information to the driver, using either a gauge, a pictogram display, or a simple low-pressure warning light. TPMS can be divided into two different types – direct (dTPMS) and indirect (iTPMS).

   Jul. 23—A new fire on the Flathead Reservation has grown to about 200 acres. The Big Draw Fire west of Elmo was likely started Monday by a boat trailer tire falling off and igniting grass along ...

6. Tire-pressure gauge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire-pressure_gauge

   The problem with this method was that if tires all lost the same pressure then none would show up against the others to indicate a problem. However, research has shown that both direct and indirect tire pressure monitoring systems are equally effective. [1] Tire-pressure gauges measure air pressure using various methods:

7. Aquaplaning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquaplaning

   Tire inflation pressure: Underinflation can cause a tire to deflect inward, raising the tire center and preventing the tread from clearing water. Tire tread aspect ratio: The longer and thinner the contact patch, the less likely a tire will aquaplane. tires that present the greatest risk are small in diameter and wide. [citation needed]
