it sounds like these wheels need to be much larger to offset the lower grip. Wonder how that affects the environment.
Comment on How to make an EV tire that won’t pollute the environment
Delta_V@lemmy.world 4 months agoThat extra weight will also mean that more force is required to accelerate and change directions.
The nimbleness of a vehicle can be expressed as the ratio:
(Tire Contact Area * Tire Stickiness) / Vehicle Mass
Increasing the vehicle’s mass while making the tires harder will lead to longer breaking distances and will cause a vehicle to understeer at lower speeds.
