Prius Tire Tuning

What experiment was that?

You claimed that braking distance was unaffected. What experimental data do you have that led you to that conclusion?

Psssst: "The ABS worked and the car came to a stop" is not experimental data that leads one to conclude that "braking distance was unaffected".

...for the tire in question.

Elmo doesn't have to run the experiment. YOU made the claim and left it hanging out there; the public wants to know, HOW do you know what you claimed?

It's a simple question, really, one that you've worked overtime to dance around.

How do you know what you claimed?

Psssst: "the car stopped" does not speak at all to "braking distance is unaffected," which was your actual claim.

Why are you refusing to provide data to back up your claim?

Why are you INSTEAD working very hard to twist this into "it's everyone else's job to provide the data" for your claim?

Ah. So you admit, you are a sociopath.

That's progress.

You at least are consistently dumb. You keep saying the same thing over and over, in the hopes that the more you say it the more likely it will happen or be true.

That's not the case, but you keep trying--and proving the very definition of insanity.

Remember, Bob, you were the one who brought up not only tire diameter but also width. Tell us again what braking distance is a function of.

Go ahead, we'll wait.

wow, you really are that dumb.

Amazing.

I can't wait for the next installment of, "Bob makes a claim and then demands that everyone else either believe it or prove him wrong".

Or, "Bob makes a claim and then uses jibberish to back it up."

You have managed yet again to completely ignore what you started with: tires of not only different diameters but also different widths, and your claim without data that "braking distance is not affected".

And then you continue to say that "ABS works, which means everything's fine" and then leave it at that. Data? You don't need no stinkin' data. You have DECLARED.

I can only imagine the circus music that plays while you type your uninformed drivel.

What does that have to do with backing up your claim that "there's no difference in braking performance"?

You could put bald ten dollar tires on their, and ABS brakes would work just fine--doing exactly what ABS is designed to do, let the tires grip to their limits.

Your continued cry of, "ABS brakes work just fine"--not just once, but over and over and over again--as your "data" to back up your claim that "there's no difference in braking performance" is absolute proof of your insanity.

What's hilarious is, even Al and his buddies recognize this by now.

What does that have to do with backing up your claim that "there's no difference in braking performance"?

I don't want to measure stopping distances. I simply want YOU to back up YOUR claims that "stopping distances are unaffected".

You've thrown out the allegation, now prove it.

You can't, or won't, or whatever. And yet for some reason, you continue to insist that you don't need to back up your allegation with actual data. The fact that you allege something is all the world needs, eh, bob?

There are many more like that, so much so that aftermarket strut brace and flex plate/crossmember upgrades are available to stiffen the suspension.

Other than your earlier post, I've never seen mention of neutering the problem via front-rear tire width differential or stagger.

Of course stagger is a diameter difference, usually cross axis not axial.

Racers. mostly oval types.
