2. Tire uniformity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_uniformity

   They consist of several subsystems, including tire handling, chucking, measurement rims, bead lubrication, inflation, load wheel, spindle drive, force measurement, and geometry measurement. The tire is first centered, and the bead areas are lubricated to assure a smooth fitment to the measurement rims. The tire is indexed into the test station ...

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

   Wide rear wheel on a 1968 Dodge Charger, an example of a staggered wheel fitment. Staggered wheel fitment usually appears on rear-wheel drive vehicles (and in smaller numbers some all wheel drive cars), when the rear wheels are wider than the front wheels. [11] Such a wheel setup may be found on the Ford Mustang, Infiniti G35, certain models of ...

5. Tire code - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_code

   A 1- or 2-digit number indicating the diameter, in inches, of the rim that the tires are designed to fit. There is the rare exception of metric-diameter tires, such as the use of the 390 size, which in this case would indicate a rim of 390 mm in diameter.

6. Turning radius - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turning_radius

   Diagram of turning vehicle. On wheeled vehicles with the common type of front wheel steering (i.e. one, two or even four wheels at the front capable of steering), the vehicle's turning diameter measures the minimum space needed to turn the vehicle around while the steering is set to its maximum displacement from the central 'straight ahead' position - i.e. either extreme left or right.

7. Tire balance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_balance

   Vibration in automobiles may occur for many reasons, such as wheel unbalance, imperfect tire or wheel shape, brake pulsation, and worn or loose driveline, suspension, or steering components. Unbalance can result from collision-induced wheel deformations, uneven tire wear, or a shift of the tire on the rim.
