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.

What factors determine the stopping distance?
Speed, reaction time, car's mass, tires, mechanical condition & type of brakes.
What type of rubber is used for car tires?
Car tires are made of latex rubber.
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.
Do the tires on a car affect how fast it will go?
Yes
How does the wheel affect the speed of a car?
All tires have a speed rating, driving above is "Highly Not Recommended" as the tire can/will come apart due to heat build up. There where cars limited in speed due to this reason.
Skill road surfacing lubricants tires brakes and the weight of the car are all examples that can create what type of driving variable?
Speed
What things can affect braking distance?
Things that affect braking distance consist of the following factors: * speed at which you're travelling * weight of the car * road conditions * braking efficiency * friction between the road surface and your tires Things that affect braking distance consist of the following factors: * speed at which you're travelling * weight of the car * road conditions * braking efficiency * friction between the road surface and your tires
What affects car speed?
Fiction: between the tires and the road. the car with the air in the drivetrain
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.
