Hi,
Newbie here, so sifting through old muck on the site...
How do you think hyperinflation would affect the 'speed ratings' that the company puts on the tyres?
If most energy losses happen due to hysterisis, as heard earlier on the forum, it should be affected severely because now the tyre does not flex much, so hysterisis losses would go down. So, if I get it right, a lower speed rated tyre would hold up to higher speeds (for a comparable energy loss, hence heat buildup) - quite an unintended consequence of hyperinflation...
Maybe I am mixing two issues up, but it certainly would bring clarity to an issue that vexes us each time visiting that tyre shop...
