The size of the tyre affects top speed by altering the gearing. Assuming the engine has the power, a larger size wheel and tyre (diameter) will result in higher top speed.

How does tire size affect the speedometer in a car?

The speedometer in a car runs based off the speed of the transmission. The gears in the transmission spin at a known rate for the speed the vehicle is traveling at. The faster the gears spin the more the speedometer goes up. If a person replaces stock tires with larger tires, then the tires will spin slower, which will cause the speedometer to read at a value that is less than the actual speed.

How does gravity effect the speed of a toy car?

Gravity affects the speed of a toy car by pulling it downward, which can increase its acceleration when moving downhill and decrease its acceleration when moving uphill. The force of gravity can also affect the traction of the tires on different surfaces, influencing the overall speed and performance of the toy car.


Does the placement of the wheels on a car change the speed of the car?

The placement wouldn't affect the speed, but would affect the handling.


How do you calculate the turning radius of a car?

I don't recall the exact formula, but, it involves the car's speed and the car's tires slip angle at a given speed.


How does the size of a toy car affect its speed?

It would affect its speed because the weight of the car is gonna slow it down


Can a car with big tires at speed of 80 mph overtakes car with small tires at speed of 80 mph?

No because both cars are going the same speed. Changing the size of a tire effectively changes the gear ratio the car drives in. A larger tire will gear the car up and so it will have a higher top speed.


Would smaller tires on a vehicle reduce a vehicle's speed?

YES, but with smaller tires the car can push them over easier reaching its top speed faster.
