Tire Physics

While researching articles for tire physics I ran across this good little read and thought I should share the wealth.

Thats a very interesting site you found. You know I have never even though about the differences between Bias and Radial tires. I just knew my husbands 1965 MG Midget has the radials still on it, and they're aweful. Never even considered how they were constructed. Nice to know, even though the math stuff went way over my head! Thanks for sharing.

I'm about 10 pages into it and am impressed with the author's presentation. I'm almost afraid to continue...
