2. Tire rotation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_rotation

   Many tire manufacturers say that tire rotation is no longer necessary, except to ensure that best tires are fitted at the rear of the vehicle. [5] In practice this means that when the front tires become worn, the new ones should be fitted to the rear, moving the old rear tires to the front. Best tires on rear of vehicle

3. Scrub radius - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrub_radius

   The scrub radius is the distance at the road surface between the tire center line and the SAI line extended downward through the steering axis. The line through the steering axis creates a pivot point around which the tire turns. If these lines intersect at the road surface, a zero scrub radius would be present.

4. 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).

5. Tire uniformity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_uniformity

   Insofar as the lateral force is the one acting side-to-side along the tire axle, lateral force variation describes the change in this force as the tire rotates under load. As the tire rotates and spring elements with different spring constants enter and exit the contact area, the lateral force will change. As the tire rotates it may exert a ...

6. Slip angle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slip_angle

   A non-zero slip angle arises because of deformation in the tire carcass and tread. As the tire rotates, the friction between the contact patch and the road results in individual tread 'elements' (finite sections of tread) remaining stationary with respect to the road. If a side-slip velocity u is introduced, the contact patch will be deformed ...
