Re: Radial tire question
So, the bias slick's fundamental for traction is its deformation. > High energy losses at all frequencies. So, the bias slick is fundamentally inefficient.
The radial is the opposite, low energy loss at all frequencies. Traction at all frequencies if you can keep it from deforming. Efficient, less rolling resistance. Faster, quicker et's.
The fundamental for wheel speed we've found effective for radial tires is the same as limiting wheel stands. Prolong the period of time the shaft is neutral in, or even exiting the damper/shock main body. We run a two way rebound adjuster on a heavy 2950pd small tire radial nitrous leaf spring car to combat wheel stands. No wheely bars allowed in the class. It lays tracks 275 radial, one teen sixty foot. There's another idea, maybe smaller tire would be easier to manage, deformation. Dunno, be interesting to see who gets there first on a radial.
