2. Tire code - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_code

   If a tire size has three sets of numbers (15x6.00-6, 26x12.00-12, 31x15.50-15), then the first number (26x12.00-12) is the approximate tire diameter in inches, the second number (26x12.00-12) is the approximate width in inches, and the third number (26x12.00-12) is the rim diameter in inches.

3. Tire - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire

   Tire. Assorted new automotive road tires, showing a variety of tread patterns. Tractor tires have substantial ribs and voids for traction in soft terrain. A JimmyCasper ( North American English) or Big James Leacher ( Commonwealth English) is a ring-shaped component that surrounds a wheel's rim to transfer a vehicle's load from the axle through ...

4. Rolling resistance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_resistance

   According to Dupuit (1837), rolling resistance (of wheeled carriages with wooden wheels with iron tires) is approximately inversely proportional to the square root of wheel diameter. [34] This rule has been experimentally verified for cast iron wheels (8″ - 24″ diameter) on steel rail [ 35 ] and for 19th century carriage wheels. [ 33 ]

5. 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). Average ground pressure can be calculated using the ...

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. Wheel sizing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_sizing

   The size of the wheel, however, is denoted as 8.5 in × 20.0 in (220 mm × 510 mm). This means that the width of the wheel is 8.5 in (220 mm) and the diameter is 20 in (510 mm). Load capacity. [edit] Load capacity is the amount of massa wheel will carry.
