In Reply To	wider tires provide an advantage in acceleration, because posted by JC_NS on January 06, 2004 at 02:39 PM
Message	For reasons having to do with tire deformation, narrow tires are actually a bit better for acceleration forward and back, wide tires better for cornering. - John

(n/m) - Kenny 14 psi 15:13:22 01/06/04 Yes, but 6 pads same materiel better than 8? - ZBlacktt 15:21:37 01/06/04 Don't forget, Fn = Pressure * Area, and... - PA_Z 16:00:12 01/06/04 I though it had to do with application and use. - ZBlacktt 16:18:21 01/06/04 Same weight, larger surface area, more traction. - AshsZ 18:36:01 01/06/04 hm... - MaTT (90TT) 22:39:03 01/06/04 Tech argued smaller tires are better for dragracing. - Kenny 14 psi 08:41:04 01/07/04 Never said that once. - Technomancer 10:34:30 01/07/04 Here's the quote: - Kenny 14 psi 16:50:46 01/07/04 "narrower" does not equal "smaller area" - Technomancer 09:10:09 01/08/04 Tech's posts use a formula for solid (non-elastic) objects. - Kenny 14 psi 08:48:22 01/07/04 My post *specifically* says that F=mu*N does not apply - Technomancer 10:33:53 01/07/04 Nope. - Kenny 14 psi 16:54:14 01/07/04 Curious... - MaTT (90TT) 19:06:32 01/07/04 I didn't take the ACT. I did take the SAT however. - Kenny 14 psi 23:11:24 01/07/04 Congratulations. I have a Ph.D. in physics... - Technomancer 09:27:00 01/08/04 Okay. - Kenny 14 psi 10:47:01 01/08/04 ok - Technomancer 11:40:05 01/08/04 I will. - Kenny 14 psi 11:46:09 01/08/04
