From the sidelines it can be difficult to get tires fun and exciting, but trust me, they are the biggest key to success in MotoGP. Race teams who design and prepare in such a way as to get the most out of the available tires have a hand in the prize before the race even starts. But how do teams choose the right tires and what should drivers pay attention to? We spoke to Michael Two-Wheel Motorsport Manager Piero Taramaso to find out how the current MotoGP tires are doing…
It’s a slip case! In addition to the high dynamic friction coefficient (grip x tire pressure), a certain level of wheel spin also increases the level of grip between the tire and the road surface. In fact: if the tire starts to slip, it It really increases the retention rate!
Piero explains: “You need the right air pressure for a tire to work well To create heat that allows some movement in the corpse, but you It also needs to generate some rotation. Not enough (rotation) and the handle will also fall You spin too much and you see the tires overheated and fall off. But what is enough spin, and when is it too much?
