I Advice - Selecting Tires for Race/Street Use and Adjusting Tire Pressure to Optimize Handling
In America, Thanksgiving traditionally means family, friends and especially food. We cook and eat as if there was a scarcity of turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing and creamy vegetables. We dive into pumpkin pie as if there was a national law that says it can only be served and eaten one day a year.Surprise! Stores sell turkey, ham, potatoes and rolls all year long. You can fix it for breakfast if you so desire or even invite the group over any other day of the year. There are no shortages of good food and good times with others. You don’t need an e

Thousands of investors across North America have taken a part time opportunity and turned it into a full time career, one putting them squarely on the road to wealth. These everyday entrepreneurs are teachers, homemakers, students, professionals, service workers you name it in search of the holy grail of wealth. One area that has worked for some is the buying of homes prior to foreclosure and turning around and selling them for a substantial profit. Some people have worked the system out so well that they purchase a home in the morning and then flip it to a new buye
A softer compound tire will have more grip but will wear out quickly while a harder compound tire will have less grip but will last for a relatively long time. Your choice of compound is mainly affected by the type of racing you plan to do and your budget. For serious racing, you will need a soft compound tire to be competitive. If you plan to do mostly street driving and/or do not have the money to frequently replace tires, go with a harder compound.
The second factor to consider is tire contact patch, or the area where the tire makes contact with the ground. You want the biggest contact patch that you can get. When more of the tire is in contact with the ground, the tire can exert more force and allow your car to achieve higher cornering speeds.
The contact patch is determined by the width of the tire and the tread pattern that is on the tire. (Usually the width provided in the tire specifications is the overall width, or section width, of the tire, not the width of the actual part of the tire that touches the ground. However, some manufacturers will provide the actual width of the contact patch, which should be slightly smaller than the overall width of the tire.) If the tire has very little tread, the contact patch will be larger (since there are fewer gaps on the tire surface for the tread), and the tire will have more grip. A tire with no tread, used only for racing, is called a slick. Slicks will maximize your car’s cornering ability but are illegal and dangerous on the street. As a rule of thumb, if you plan to drive on the street, use a tire with at least three vertical treads. These are often referred to as semi-slick tires.

We’ve all heard of the Zen of “x” or the Zen of “y”, and believe it or not the Zen of men’s grooming actually does exist! As men, we are not taught at any stage of our lives about grooming. Somehow we’re just supposed to magically figure out what to do when it comes to shaving, skin care, body hair trimming, hair maintenance, etc. It’s just fantastic to think that girls at a very early age, are playing with makeup and watching (and learning) how mama cleans her skin every night. All boys are taught to do is wash their hands and brush their teeth before going to

People who are about to build their first computer will start by doing a bit of daydreaming. Their minds will conjure visions of the perfect machine, that blend of CPU, motherboard, and hard drive that will give them blistering speed, conquering the toughest tasks effortlessly. They see it sitting on their desk, the case a thing of beauty, an artwork belonging in an exhibit of modern design.Then, they check their bank account. Reality sets in. Corners will have to be cut. They will scour the earth (well, the internet) for bargains. Perhaps, with a lucky find

With ever-increasing movements in manufacturing toward a seamless integration of shop systems, enterprise resource planning (ERP) software has proven a viable solution to the problem of communication between departments. The immediacy of graphically-displayed (GUI), real-time data available to operators at the touch of a finger functions to reduce the amount of time and paperwork necessary to make job production run smoothly. However, one of the last vestiges of needless multilayer redundancy in the manufacturing system is shown in the very essence of the producti

Proper behavior on a date.A formal date can mean different things to different people -- a night out on the town, a Broadway play, a lavish meal, an intellectually stimulating encounter. Sometimes a date can mean nothing more than just getting out of the house. However, not observing proper etiquette can turn the courting process into something it should never mean to anyone -- total disaster.When calling a girl for a date, for instance, it is improper for a guy to reverse the charges. This could give the girl the impression that he's somewhat of a che
You can use your choice of tire width to change the handling characteristics of your car. For instance, if your car tends to understeer, you can increase the width of the front tires to improve front grip. Also, if your engine produces substantial power, you should try to maximize the width of the drive wheels to make sure you can get the power to the ground.
The third factor to consider when choosing a tire is sidewall height. A tall sidewall flexes more than a shorter one. Therefore, a short sidewall tire will provide a more precise steering feel than a tire with a tall sidewall, but using a taller sidewall makes the car feel more forgiving and less twitchy. Also, a short sidewall tire makes the ride harsh on the street. For a dedicated race car, this is obviously insignificant.
Tire pressure can be adjusted to change the handling characteristics of your car. By increasing tire pressure, you cause the tire profile to become more round, which decreases the size of the contact patch. You also cause the spring rate at that corner of the car to increase since you are making the tire harder and, therefore, “bouncier” by filling it with more air. Both of these results take away grip from the tire. If you increase front tire pressure, the car will become tighter (added understeer), and if you increase rear tire pressure, the car will be looser (added oversteer).
Lowering tire pressure causes the tire to sag, which increases the size of the contact patch. In addition, it decreases the effective spring rate at that corner of the car and makes the tire rise in temperature. The additional rolling drag (or friction) produced by the sagging of the tire is responsible for the temperature change. These factors provide the tire with more grip. If you decrease pressure in the front tires, the car becomes looser, and if you decrease pressure in the rear tires, the car becomes tighter. The temperature increase may be desired if it will allow the tire to heat up to recommended operating temperature. However, overheating the tire can lead to loss of grip, “chunking” (large
