Tire Squirm

…tread squirm will be avoided. Heat buildup will be managed and rolling resistance will be appropriate. Proper tire inflation pressure also stabilizes the tire's structure, blending the tire's responsiveness, traction and handling. "Correct tire inflation pressure allows drivers to experience tire…

…his tires will tell you, low tread depth tires respond more quickly. Don't be surprised if your new tires are a little slower to respond (even if you use the exact same tire as before). Their new, full depth brings with it a little more tread squirm until they wear down. "...your new tires require…

…characteristics. New winter tires begin with deeper tread depths and more open tread designs than the tires used during the rest of the year. While the extra tread depth allows new winter tires to provide more traction in deep snow, it also contributes to more tread squirm and drivers may notice a…

…necessarily the case. We offer a tire shaving service that reduces the tire tread depth down to match the tire depth of the remaining partially worn tires on the vehicle. Tire shaving has been used for decades in auto racing to reduce tire squirm and to increase tire life. That same technology is…

…help with performance: * Reduce tire's weight * Reduce tread squirm * Less heat generated Tire shaving is recommended for competition tires for dry events that start at 6/32" of tread. However, it's also important to remember that once used, all tires will be much less effective during…

…Full-Treaded Tires Generate More Rolling Resistance Than Shallow-Treaded, Worn Tires Tire rolling resistance gradually drops by about 20% during the life of a tire as the tread wears from its original molded depth to worn out. This can be attributed to the reduction in tread mass and rubber squirm,…

…XRV radial uses a cool-running tread compound molded into a shallow, stable tread design to reduce heat for greater durability and reduced squirm for improved handling. Wide, see-through grooves promote efficient drainage to resist hydroplaning and improve traction on wet surfaces while…

…helps to reduce tread squirm and heat buildup on the outside shoulder. The inboard side usually features smaller independent tread blocks to aid wet and/or winter traction when driving straight ahead. Tires featuring asymmetric tread patterns allow using multiple tire rotation patterns. Directional…

…even a more competition-based tire. On tight technical portions of our track the tires kept their composure and didn't squirm or buckle under the Challenger's weight. Overall, I was very impressed with the tire. As a replacement for the g-Force Sport, this tire has come a long way. While the…

…traction) allows tread block squirm which will reduce dry performance. This means that tires typically provide their worst wet traction...and their best dry performance just before they wear out. However, its also important to remember that the heat generated every time a tire is driven activates…

…tire's tread profile will usually result in a slight increase in the width of the tire's contact patch, putting a little more rubber on the road. The resulting shallower tread depths reduce the tire's slip angle, increasing its responsiveness and cornering power by minimizing tread block squirm.…
