Errr, not strictly true... Friction (between the tyre and the road) is only a factor of tyre compounds and tread patterns, nothing directly to do with tyre...
Hello.I am a new member that has just taken over a multipla from a disabled relative.Due to a wheelchair being put in and out regularly the plastic panels in...
The only thing stopping my car going in a straight line (and into the scenery) on a wet bend is friction. If the car is easier to slide with wider tyres then...
Nearly right....wider tyres with more contact patch in any given "normal" situation have more grip....else why would F1 cars have wider tyres than say go...
I would suggest one of the online breakers mentioned in an ealier post. I'm just waiting for a replacement interior light switch assy from 247. William...
Thanks, all. I will run a feed from the cig lighter power & earth to my pda mount tomorrow. BTW, If anyone wants to mount a mobile phone, satnav etc I can...

Easy-peasy! Removed panel with ash-tray and power points. Ran 2-core cable from under glove-box tray to the hole behind the power plug (under cup-holder), and...
Hello Bob.Thanks your reply.The panels I mean are the main side panels covering the wheel arch,one side has a compartment for the wheel brace.These have been...
Friction is reduced and grip gets worse. Never suggested they were not the same thing. A physicist calls it friction and your average car driver calls it grip....
But wider tyres on my Multipla would not have more contact patch (as Ian pointed out). The mass of the car stays the same. Certain members of this group may...
Mondeo V6 - modern engine and chain driven. It is amazing how much stress was relieved when I realised that the engine was not going to need a timing belt...
... Wider tyres don't have 'more contact patch'. F1 cars have wider tyres than go-karts because the regulations for go-karts restrict the width of tyres....
Agree absolutely. Diesels should never have been fitted with belts. The stresses comparative to the petrol equivalent is much higher as the camshaft is harder...
