Why wider tires are more efficient than narrower tires at normal speed?

Your question makes the assumption that the question is true. Wider tires are not more efficient than narrow tires at normal speed in all conditions. Wider tires do provide more traction and stopping power on dry or wet pavement as they have more tread contacting the road. But a wide tire that is worn also has a higher tendency to hydroplane on a wet road than a narrow tire. In snowy conditions a narrower tire is almost always a better choice. Wide tires tend to float over the snow instead of digging in and they usually provide less traction. Wide tires also may provide less fuel economy than a narrow tire. It depends on many factors.

Why wider tire are more efficient than narrower tire at normal speed?
that is a false question. less rubber on the road means less friction and this calls for better fuel economy maybe, efficient means high-performance, with a good grip and braking characteristics. Wider tires also mean better handling.
What speed does a small car start hydroplaning?
No certain speed, depends on the tread, width and inflation of the tires. Never drive too fast for road conditions.Wide tires will hydroplane before narrower ones will.
Which tires produce less friction?
Narrower tires with harder rubber
Can you replace 245 75 16 tires with 225 65 16 tires?
Doubtful, the 225/65 tires are narrower and shorter.
Which gas in pumped in the tires of racing cars?
I think it is Nitrogen. The normal air mixture pumped into regular road cars is not efficient at high speeds and will lose pressure easily. If that happens there could be catastrophic consequence at high speed. That is why they use nitrogen If you pump nitrogen into the tires of your regular road car, you need not check tire pressure for 3 months.
Are there tires that improve your gas mileage?
You will get the best gas mileage if you get the tires that fit your car that have the least rolling resistance. Rolling resistance is the amount of force needed to keep an object rolling at a constant speed. Heavier tires and those with deeper treads are less efficient. Remember to properly inflate your tires too.
Can you use 205 65 r15 tires on 1999 Chevrolet Malibu?
205 65 15 tires will be narrower but taller than 215 60 15. not reccomended, because it may throw off the speedo. it is a narrower tire and you may suffer on cornering etc. YOUR CHOICE !
What causes a Winding sound with speed of tires?
the tires themselves.
How many tires are on 26 cars?
If they are normal cars there will be 104 tires
Why the tractors have a broad tires?
Tractors have broad tires because there is more contact with the ground and less compaction. The bigger the tractor tire the narrower it is a 52" tire is narrow but we have a 32" tire that is 34" wide.
What difference between normal air V's nitrogen in car tires?
Nitrogen is much more stable in all temperatures and better for high speed driving.
How are cars made more fuel efficient?
Lighter weight, more aerodynamic, and more fuel efficient engines, transmissions, and tires.
