He claims that the amount of tread in a tire is fixed, say a slab of 78.5" in length, and since all of this tread has to make one full rotation, the distance traveled will not fluctuate with PSI or load carried. I got into an argument with someone that great changes in PSI will affect the distance traveled during one full rotation. I noticed some manufacturers report a value called "static load radius":ĭoes changing PSI in the tire by 5 or 10 affect the rolling radius? But once the tire is on the car, will one tire rotation result in a distance traveled of 78.5" or something less than that because the sidewall is a bit flattened? Another words, a radius of a tire off the car and on the car is not the same, correct? From this we can calculate that the circumference is about 78.5". Let's say we have a tire with an overall diameter of 25".
