Good find Solo...that was interesting. So going to 22.5 was mostly for tax savings.... :idea:
|
Does anyone have a link to any type of SAE testing?
|
i guess if you have a truck with certain size tires.. just replace in like kind..

I'm REALLY surprised if a 24.5 tire is less resistant. |
Nope, if the tire is taller, the contact patch is larger.
Why do you think dragsters have such tall tires? |

Why do you think dragsters have such tall tires? the tire is always supporting the same amount of weight. if you replace a lo pro with a taller tire, the contact patch will be longer, true... but it will also be narrower ; the tire's ability to support weight is measured in psi... pounds PER SQUARE INCH, each sq inch of tire that touches the ground will support 'x' amount of weight |
I'm afraid that's not how it works.
Psi is the pressure inside the tire. |
You're right Allan every one else is wrong. Post me when you open up your tire company
