Simple tire question


Recommended Posts

I'm wondering, if you had a boxster with worn out tires and a boxster with brand new tires and they were both to drive off at 75 from a standstill, not a race, just driving, would the acceleration and/or speed maintainence be the same between both cars or would the car with the new tires beat it? and why? thanks in advance

So what your saying is that since the compound is hardened it may allow the old tire to "slide" and create a lesser traction? so if thats the case, would that mean that I would get higher gas milage and faster acceleration? thanks

In theory I would think more grip would mean less energy wasted getting up to speed, so technically you might see better mileage with newer tires, but the difference would probably be minute and difficult to measure.

Where are you going with this little exercise?
