Hi,
I have been wondering if there is some equation which will allow me to calculate the distance and, or time, necessary for my bike to come to a complete stop knowing only the initial speed and tire pressure, without applying brakes and with negligible air resistance?
This thought came to me while I was trying to fill my MTB bike tire a while ago as an exercise in laziness to not "check" the tire pressure with a separate gauge! Mostly, my mind just wanders...

A car service center used a hydraulic impact torque (is this the one used?) on the car tire nuts. See video. The car tire nut are rated at 88 ft lbs torque.

This is one method to fix a tire with hole.
I'd like to understand what happens mechanically to the tire belts and plies when plug method was used to fix the hole. This is part of a tire.

I'm having issues in the application of tire forces while deriving a multi-body model of a motorcycle via Lagrange.

I'm a little confused about this question because I think the braking deceleration probably takes into account the braking system of the vehicle as well as the power of the motor. I don't understand how a car could actually brake without the "friction between the mechanical components of the...

So the rubber on one of my bicycle tires has worn out to the point it needs to be replaced, and I was thinking I'd prefer a solid tire this time. Rather then buying one like a normal person I was thinking if I could make my own out of recycled plastic.

So I have a mining dump truck with 6 wheels. Tire is 4022mm diameter and rim is 1600mm diameter. I know all information about the truck. Assume that the truck is standing still on a 10% incline. Do I still need to find coefficient of friction to calculate the torque on each tire ? Thanks
Would it be possible to build a small 20' X 20' or 30' X 30' building using car tires using maybe one layer tires then black plastic to keep rain out then another layer of tires? If you just stack them vertical for the wall how would you build roof? Stacking them like great pyramids would look...

I have attached four Ice racing tires commonly used on cars and trucks. One of these is my own personal design that I have been racing with for a couple years now and still in the R/D stage but everyone keeps telling me my tire will destroy the ice we race on (think oval track) too fast and I...
I'm new to the forum and after some help if anyone can explain. I've read a few articles now, which have stated that the average co-efficient of friction for a tire with tread will be between 0.4 in the wet and 0.7 in the dry. If instead the tire had no tread, the co-efficient of friction will...

My question comes from a moment when I was riding my bike. I had a flat tire. My question then was how fast do i need to cycle so that i don't ride on my rim's anymore. I tride calculating this with the force that i put on the tire (15kg+70kg= mass of the bike and I)*g= 833,85 N that devided by...
So I was curious about something. Having a flat tire today and having to change my tire made me wonder. I understand torque and force are 2 different things though related they have separate meanings.
So my question is if I have a 2 foot tire iron and I am torquing my nuts. Let's say they...
Forgive me if I have not posted this in the right place but I have a quick question. Say if you have a trailer on a truck, let's say a semi trailer, that has 2 axles on it. You measure the stopping distance from a certain speed. You then add another axle to the trailer that has brakes on it with...
I have few (more or less) general questions:
1. I know that: "The coefficients of friction are nearly independent of the area of contact
between the surfaces".
I understand this, but I know from everyday life, when car tire tread is worn off, braking distance increases and maximum acceleration...
Here is what I want to know specifically: if I replace my 5cm wide rear tire with a 6.25cm wide tire, how much can I increase the inflation pressure to obtain the same comfort?
I realize "comfort" is not a quantifiable measurement, maybe shock absorption characteristics is better. Perhaps it...
Assuming that the temperature in the tire suddenly rises.
My question is that would that cause the contact surface area between the tires and the floor increase, decrease, or stay the same?
(given that the volume of air in the tires is a constant and cannot be changed)
Also, why?
Okay so I've been digesting a lot about tire physics, it is a lot to digest. I have read about 50 pages worth of long and complex equations and hours upon hours of videos. But before I get to the complex refinements, I want to make sure I have an understanding of the basic behavoir.

pV = nRT
The Attempt at a Solution
I assumed that volume and temperature would stay constant. I assumed the volume wouldn't change because the volume of the tire doesn't change. This implies that
n1/p1 = n2/p2
n1p2 / p1 = n2
I found n1 by using the...
