DRIVER TIP
MAXIMIZING PERFORMANCE FROM YOUR TIRES
To optimize your vehicle’s performance and maximize acceleration, it’s crucial to focus on maximizing the forces that your tires can produce. The tire is the only part of the car that touches the road, so understanding how they interact with other components is key to enhancing performance.
The behavior of the tire’s rubber is influenced by three main factors: energy loss, hysteresis, and modulus. Energy loss occurs as heat due to a delay in the rubber’s response. Hysteresis refers to the relationship between stress and deformation. Modulus characterizes the stiffness of the rubber, with softer materials being less rigid than harder materials. Temperature and frequencies also affect the rubber’s behavior.
Rubber behaves differently at high and low frequencies. At low frequencies, it behaves elastically, while at high frequencies, it behaves viscoelastically. Hysteresis is crucial for generating friction forces and grip, especially at higher frequencies. However, if the frequency is too high, the rubber becomes less effective.
Rubber is brittle and rigid at low temperatures and flexible and elastic at high temperatures. The best tire performance is achieved at intermediate temperatures, where the rubber is most viscous. This viscosity helps generate friction forces and grip. Keep in mind that road roughness, rubber type, and temperature all play a role in tire performance.
For valuable tips on increasing your driving performance and optimizing grip, we recommend speaking to our service director, Rafal. He can provide you with expert advice tailored to your specific needs. Maximize your tire’s potential and enjoy a safer and more thrilling driving experience.
