FEATURED The Racing & High-Performance Tire: Using Tires to Tune for Grip & Balance (R-351)
Based on 15 years of research on tires, Paul Haney's The Racing and High-Performance Tire presents clear, non-academic explanations of how and why tires really work. Writing that "the pneumatic tire is arguably the most complicated and useful device man makes," Haney (Inside Racing) provides new insight into topics such as the complexity of rubber, how a pneumatic tire generates grip, and how to tune grip and balance using the load sensitivity of tires. Readers will learn: Why there's more grip off-line in the rain
Why inflation pressure is critically important
Why wide tires produce more grip
How good drivers maintain control at the limit of adhesion
Why Firestone was able to beat out Goodyear in the CART series
