👉 Tire math involves calculating various properties and dimensions of tires, primarily focusing on their circumference, diameter, pressure, and load capacity. The circumference \( C \) of a tire is given by \( C = \pi \times d \), where \( d \) is the tire's diameter. The pressure \( p \) in pounds per square inch (PSI) is crucial for safety and performance and is calculated using the formula \( p = \frac{F}{A} \), where \( F \) is the force applied (typically the tire's load in pounds) and \( A \) is the contact area of the tire, which is \( \frac{\pi d^2}{4} \). The load capacity, often expressed in pounds, depends on the tire's design and material, but it can be estimated using formulas like \( L = \frac{p \times A}{F} \), where \( L \) is the load capacity. Understanding these relationships helps in selecting the right tire for specific conditions, ensuring optimal performance and safety.
