How Do the Tyre Grip, Traction, and Braking Efficiency Affect the Vehicle Control in Case of Emergencies?

Image
The tyres are the only point of contact between the car and the road; therefore, the functioning of the tyres plays a critical role in maintaining the car's control, stability, and safety. In particular, grip of tyres, traction and braking performance are the significant variables determining the way a car will respond during normal operation and during an emergency. These characteristics are not separate features, but they are correlated properties of tyre action that identify the efficiency of car acceleration, cornering and braking. The force that exists between the surface of the tyre and the road is referred to as the 'tyre grip', and the ability of the tyre to transfer the engine power to the road without skidding is the term traction. The efficiency of braking is, however, an indication of how the tyres can accelerate using braking force without losing balance or contact. Grip, traction and braking performance are important in an emergency, such as sudden braking, a ...

Should Tyres Be Inflated to Maximum PSI Rating?

Image
The maximum tyre pressure markings should not be considered as the recommended inflation levels. The manufacturers of the vehicles give the optimal pressures, taking into consideration the weight, handling, and comfort requirements. The mentioned pressures can be found on the labels either inside the driver's door frames or on the fuel filler flaps. Highly regarded brands, such as  Michelin Tyres Cheltenham , have maximum ratings that are considerably higher than typical usage pressures. Knowing the difference between maximum capacity and optimal pressure helps in avoiding premature tyre wear, as well as keeping the vehicle safe and performing well. Finding the Recommended Pressure The vehicle manufacturers indicate the recommended tyre pressures at multiple places. Inside the driver's door frame is the most usual spot. A label indicates the pressures for the front and rear tyres. The owner's manual consists of detailed information regarding the pressures. It includes the r...
