Some members of the scientific community have known for many years (at least from 1970) that the best rubber always should be on the rear wheels of passenger cars, to provide for stability under wet-road conditions. In 1982 the Tire Industry Safety Council stated "if selecting only a pair of replacement tires… put the two new tires on the rear wheels for better handling" More recently, the Tire Industry Association, in recommending that, when only two tires are replaced, the two new tires should be on the rear, included the phrase "…to prevent an over-steer condition or loss of vehicle stability…" The Rubber Manufacturers Association recommends that "…newer tires should be installed on the rear axle unless the new replacement tires are of a lower speed rating…" This caveat takes into account that the lower-speed rated tires will have lower critical characteristics than the higher-speed tires. The fundamental consideration is to have the tires with the best traction and lateral stiffness properties on the rear.
Even with this knowledge, it is not unusual today to find tire installers insisting that the best rubber should be on the front wheels.W. Blythe, ”Review of tread depth, placement for wet traction,” Rubber & Plastic News, vol. 36, nr 3, pp. 32-35, 2006.
Ja, det är märkligt att folk envisas. Statistik på olyckor, varav flera med dödlig utgång avskräcker inte sladd-eliten på motorforum. Synnerligen problematiskt att folk envisas med att ha sådan övertro till sin egen förmåga.
"Sladd-eliten" tillhör jag den gruppen numera?
Jag har ju anti-sladd på Toylådan, måste det systemet stängas av för att ladda på stolpe?
Jag har dom bästa däcken på höger sida så jag dras mot dikeskanten om jag måste panikbromsa för någon med bästa däcken fram som kommer på tvären över vägbanan.
