You are getting it all wrongalelanza wrote:You sure about that one? I think the smaller weight transfer accounts for a smaller loss of total grip, but grip does not increase linearly with weight, as your graph proves. Otherwise a heavier car would have the same braking distance as a lighter one under the same conditions no?Belatti wrote: That means that the outer wheel will loose some grip but the inner one will gain more than what the outer losses
"the smaller weight transfer accounts for a smaller loss of total grip" as you say is OK, but I have never ever said "grip does increase linearly with weight" and neither did the graph. Where do you see linearity ???
The graph is from Milliken book and I´ll have to trust it till I have a chance to test a racing tire myself or at least see a test protocol from a tire manufacturer.
