So - No - the contact patch is not the same with the same pressure and load.
Oh, and tires do NOT behave according to classical friction theory. Tires generate their highest grip at 10% to 15% slip. |
Saw that. But it was talking about lower pressures and for two motorcycle tires, which are very narrow. I'm wondering how big the disconnect is for square shouldered radials.
