Which Part Of The Tire Gives Us The Grip Necessary To Maintain Traction? The inner tire tread is responsible for water displacement and protection against aquaplaning (hydroplaning). The outer tire tread has rigid tread blocks for higher lateral stiffness, which provides high grip when cornering and driving on dry surfaces, and quieter interior noise. What

What Can Cause An Increase In A Tire Rolling Resistance?

by

What Can Cause An Increase In A Tire Rolling Resistance? Rolling resistance greatly increases with applied torque. At high torques, which apply a tangential force to the road of about half the weight of the vehicle, the rolling resistance may triple (a 200% increase). This is in part due to a slip of about 5%.
