Question 22304: Two cars with new tires are driven at an average speed of 60 mph for a test drive of 2000 miles. the diameter of the wheels of one car is 15 inches. the deameter of the wheels of the other car is 16 in. If the tires are equally durable and differ only by deamer, which car will probably need new tires first? why? Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The tire with smaller diameter will wear out first because
it will have to revolve more times to cover the same distance.
Each time it revolves it wears against the road.
