Question: the outside circle is a tire made of rubber, which wears down at a known rate.
Which tire wears down more:
A tire that rolls around a circle of circumference D.
A tire that rolls down a flat surface, total distance D?
- johnfn 3y agoWell, surely these are the same. Right? Haha of course they are. This is silly. Right? RIGHT?!?
- Aeolun 3y agoJust because it’s spinning more does not mean it wears out faster though. Maybe tires are more resistant to rolling on curvatures?
- scotty79 3y agoI'd say they are less resistant to going on positive curvatures. It's like a bum that goes deeper into the tire, deforming tire more which should result in more wear than driving on even surface.
