It reveals that the tire pressure per inch change of baro pressure is higher given given higher inflation pressures, which would seem correct to me. All in all, not nearly as significant a change compared with changes in ambient temperature. Last edited by RidingOnRailz; 09-23-2022 at 03:15 PM. |

Re: The MYTH Of Wider Tire Contact Patch Dispelled!
VINDICATED!!!
My initial points, proven at last! While the advice given from the below video was aimed toward off-roaders, some principles, regarding contact patch are universal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spOUcaUzIHY Please watch the entire video before impulsively commenting halfway through - "but, but...". I wish I could get Robert Pepper on here; his insights and knowledge are indispensable. The difference between contact patches from narrow high profile and wide low profile tires is 90% orientation, and 10% size difference. Last edited by RidingOnRailz; 09-30-2022 at 04:08 PM. |
