tyre

As a tyre mechanic for 4 years, I can tell you that patches are far more reliable than plugs.

Wind & tyre resistance losses, engine/transmission, etc, etc.

I changed 'tyre' to 'tire' in an article and got a vandalism notice on my talk page.

* I don't have a suggestion here per se, but it takes several clicks to get from stating a size to buying a tyre.

For example, if a manufacturer makes 500 tyres, each of which can support 1000kg, they get a score of 500 x 1000 = 500000.

It's pointless and distracting to have an article that changes from tyre to tire every paragraph.

It'd be a cool list because it might throw up some unexpected results, due to tyres for odd applications.

For example, wireless tyre pressure/temperature sensors are installed in many cars and can be read with SDR hardware[1].

Why is the gradient on the properties-of-tyres buttons is different from the submit button's gradient?

An interesting list would be tyre manufacturers by total load bearing capacity produced.

I remember inflating polythene that was used for packaging 1ltr milk sachets and using tyre tubes as strings for holding up these packagings and for football we lived.

This is to give maximum grip on thicker pile carpets, however this kind of carpet tend to be "squishy" and allow the wheels to float somewhat on the carpet surface no matter what design of tyre.

From tyre compounds to suspension design to chassis structure to aerodynamics to engine optimization, your daily car would be nowhere as safe, economical, durable and so on without cutting edge technology designed for those ultra high-end cars.
