Which tires produce less friction?

Narrower tires with harder rubber


How does low air pressure in bicycle tires reduce the efficiency of the bicycle?

Flabby tyres produce more friction with the road.Less air pressure creates more surface friction, the less surface friction there is the better. (Example look at the very skinny narrow tyres on road racers as they don't need a lot of surface friction while mountain bikes have thick tyres as they need more friction)


When a cars tires are stuck in snow or mud is it better to have more less friction and why?

It is better to have less friction because it will be easier to get out.


What are the benefits of radial tires?

Compared to previous versions of tires, radial tires have less rolling friction or less friction with the road while in motion. The result of this is that the tires are generally quieter when driving on the road than the previous version and also allow for better fuel economy.

Using the ideas about friction and deceleration explain using a new tire than badly worn tires?

New tires actually have less friction on dry surface than old, bald tires, but once the old tires hit water, you new tires quickly win.


How does friction on tires effect the stopping distance of a car?

The more friction, the quicker the vehicle will stop, meaning less stopping distance.


When a vehicle hydroplanes its tires?

When a vehicle hydroplanes, the friction the tires are against is something other than the roadway - typically, it's a layer of water between the tires and the roadway. As the water has much less resistance and friction than asphalt, the tires spin much more freely.


What are the differences between folding bead and wire bead bicycle tires?

Folding bead bicycle tires are lighter and more flexible, making them easier to transport and install. Wire bead tires are more durable and less expensive, but heavier and harder to fold for storage or transport.


What is an example of a non-useful friction?

Racing because friction slows you down but you need to go fast.

Why does f1 cars need to change their tires so often?

so that less friction is caused, and to improve speed
