What is bandolero car tire circumference?

if you have this car, YOU can measure it; make a small mark on the tire & the ground (try chalk) & have someone inch the car forsard. once the mark on the tire is exactly in the middle (touching the ground) make another mark on the ground. measure the distance & voila


How do you change a tire on vw beetle?

Lift the car off of the ground on a car jack, remove the wheel hub, remove the bolts, and remove the old tire. Place the new tire on, put the bolts back on and tighten them down, replace the wheel hub, and lower the car to the ground.


Why won't the tire come off the ground when jacking up the car?

Either the tire is too big for the car or you could try jacking on something other than the cars body.

How does friction act on a car?

According to wikipedia friction is defined as: "the force resisting the relative motion of two surfaces in contact or a surface in contact with a fluid (e.g. air)." Thus there are would be 2 locations friction would occur on a moving vehicle: (1) air resisting the motion of the vehicle; (2) friction between the tire and the ground. Two types of friction can occur between the tire and the ground, a) static friction, and b) kinetic friction. Static friction is when the tire maintains grip or traction on the road surface, whereas kinetic friction (as the name implies) is when the tire is moving relative to the ground. To illustrate static friction, consider for a moment a dot on the tire's surface. Your vehicle is moving forward (let's say it's moving very slowly), and your tire rotates so that the dot comes into contact with the ground at a certain point. Since a car tire compresses a bit on the road's surface, there's approximately 3-4 inches of tire flat against the road at any given time. As your car moves forward, the tire rotates, and once the dot touches the ground at a given point, the tire and the ground move at the same rate relative to the car. That is, the dot on the tire and the point on the ground remain in contact until the tire reaches the end of that 3-4" strip of contact, when it is pulled upward from the ground to rotate around top and back to the ground. An example of kinetic friction from the illustration above would be that the dot on the tire reaches a point on the ground, but the dot and point move away from one another. In real life this would be if you hit the brakes and skid, or if you hit the gas and burn out or spin your tires (e.g. in the snow or mud). The problem with kinetic friction is that it is weaker than static friction. Thus, when you hit the brakes, if your tires lock up (you'll hear the squealing tires against the road) you are now in kinetic friction and your car will slow down less (actually speed up) compared to when your tires were in static friction with the ground. That is why you pump your brakes... also why anti-lock braking systems (ABS) were developed.


What is tire describe in detail?

A tire is the outermost part of the circles which your car rolls on. In modern times, tires are almost always made of rubber. They fit around the metal wheel/rim and are the only parts of a car that touch the ground.

What is 'The car has a flat tire' when translated from English to Italian?

L'auto ha una gomma a terra is an Italian equivalent of the English phrase "The car has a flat tire." The pronunciation of the feminine singular declarative clause in the third person singular -- which translates literally as "The car has a tire to (the) ground" -- will be "LOW-to a OO-na GOM-ma TER-ra" in Italian.
