I have to compare and contrast three types of tires, and relate them to physics.

Question

I've chosen:
<li> Racing tires
<li> Winter tires
<li> All season tires

I've chosen to compare them on:
<li> Tire tread pattern
<li> Rubber compound
<li> ???

As you can see, I need something else to compare. I thought of air pressure but that's not really determined by the type of tire...any ideas?

Thanks.

Answer 1

I suggest you also look into the very important differences between radial and bias-ply construction of the underlying layers:
