Oh, and some statements which indicate you don't understand thermodynamics, airflow, or the difference between tire scrubbing and tread squirm. Hint: There's no tire scrubbing on the highway, where speeds and heat are greatest, the most miles are spent, and a blowout is most likely.
When you make a claim that engineers state this..... You know you gotta back that up with sources.
Terry made a claim that I had never heard of... So I asked him to explain it. His explanation bordered on ridicuolous, so I called him on it. He then decided to state that engineers have stated his claim.
I have done some searchs and can find nothing to back that up.
So although I am willing to consider his position, he needs to provide sources for his claims in order to make them credible.
Terry doesn't seem to want to do this, so at this point, I don't consider his claims correct.
There are many advantages to a wide trax axle setup.... But lack of radiant tire heat isn't one of them as far as I can tell.... As a side note for others, there are some downsides to a wide trax setup as well, but that is a totally different discussion.
