2. Tire code - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_code

   The DOT code [1] is an alphanumeric character sequence molded into the sidewall of the tire and allows the identification of the tire and its age. The code is mandated by the U.S. Department of Transportation [2] but is used worldwide. [3] The DOT code is also useful in identifying tires subject to product recall [4] or at end of life due to age.

3. European Tyre and Rim Technical Organisation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Tyre_and_Rim...

   The European Tyre and Rim Technical Organisation (ETRTO) exists to specify and harmonise sizes of rims and their associated pneumatic tyres across the European Union. ETRTO sizes apply to rims and tyres for vehicles of all types, including bicycles. The great advantage of ETRTO sizing is that it is unambiguous; previously, nominal dimensions ...

4. Wheel sizing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_sizing

   The wheel size is the size designation of a wheel given by its diameter, width, and offset. The diameter of the wheel is the diameter of the cylindrical surface on which the tire bead rides. The width is the inside distance between the bead seat faces. The offset is the distance from the wheel's true centerline (half the width) to the wheel's ...

5. Rolling resistance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_resistance

   Figure 1 Hard wheel rolling on and deforming a soft surface, resulting in the reaction force R from the surface having a component that opposes the motion. (W is some vertical load on the axle, F is some towing force applied to the axle, r is the wheel radius, and both friction with the ground and friction at the axle are assumed to be negligible and so are not shown.

6. 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 ...

7. Toe (automotive) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toe_(automotive)

   In automotive engineering, toe, also known as tracking, [1] is the symmetric angle that each wheel makes with the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, as a function of static geometry, and kinematic and compliant effects. This can be contrasted with steer, which is the antisymmetric angle, i.e. both wheels point to the left or right, in parallel ...
