2. Tire rotation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_rotation

   [citation needed] If the tires are unidirectional, the rotation can only be rotated front to back on the same side of the vehicle to preserve the rotational direction of the tires, unless they are remounted. More complex rotation patterns are required if the vehicle has a full-size spare tire that is part of the rotation, or if there are snow ...

3. 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).

4. Circle of forces - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle_of_forces

   The vehicle to which the tire is attached is moving in the positive y direction. In this example, the vehicle would be cornering to the right (i.e. the positive x direction points to the center of the corner). Note that the plane of rotation of the tire is at an angle to the actual direction that the tire is moving (the positive y direction).

5. Lateral force variation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_Force_Variation

   If we measure the lateral force between the tire and the wheel we will see zero change as the tire turns. If we now test a typical production tire we will see the lateral force vary as the tire turns. Consider a good tire with LFV of 4 pounds. This tire will induce a 4 pound force sideways into the vehicle every rotation.

6. Tire - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire

   Rotation: Tires may exhibit irregular wear patterns once installed on a vehicle and partially worn. Front-wheel drive vehicles tend to wear the front tires at a greater rate compared to the rear tires. Tire rotation is moving the tires to different car positions, such as front-to-rear, in order to even out the wear, with the objective of ...

7. Radial force variation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_force_variation

   Radial force variation or road force variation [1] (RFV) is a property of a tire that affects steering, traction, braking and load support.High values of RFV for a given tire reflect a high level of manufacturing variations in the tire structure that will impart ride disturbances into the vehicle in the vertical direction.

9. Four-wheel drive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-wheel_drive

   The Jeep Wrangler (pictured is a TJ Wrangler) is a 4WD vehicle with a transfer case to select low-range or high-range four-wheel drive.. A four-wheel drive, also called 4×4 ("four by four") or 4WD, is a two-axled vehicle drivetrain capable of providing torque to all of its wheels simultaneously.
