Does TIRE SIZE affect TORQUE? | Do BIGGER TIRES Reduce Torque? (Not including dynamic losses)

This can be a confusing subject, and Google's definitions are often a bit...torquey 🤔. Get the gist in under 4 minutes. Redneck Physics is your one channel for all things STEM and AUTOMOTIVE. Checkout the rest of my videos and subscribe if you're interested.

Never thought I'd have a cowboy teach me physics, but here we are. Great video, it really helped me understand torque in a new light

1000 NM of torque... I like you already. Glad to see a fellow American using proper measurement system. :)

This is an updated version with a few changes made (had to get my math straightened out + a new ending)…Thanks

OMG, You're Dang Right there good buddy! But I Subbed anyways bc of your honesty. I absolutely do not like being asked to do something that I need not be asked to do. I had begun to wonder if for monitization it is obligatory for the ask by Giggle to be inserted.

Nice quality is such a rare stuff of beginners in the YouTube, good job sir, keep up

You and this channel are going places mate. I’m happy to jump on board early, call me an investor 😂😂

Okay, the thumbnail made me think you're a toddler from that perspective
But amazing production quality btw!

I’m glad I surfed into here 🙂

It is confusing though when you wear that hat and speak in Metric 😄 I’m a Canadian hillbilly so it works doubly well for me 😄 I’ve had this argument with people a few times, but more often than not, it’s torque vs hp. Do you have a video explaining how higher hp doesn’t mean much if you have to go to 20k RPM to get it? 😄
Great video
Take care

Does weight work for or against the rotation force?

For my car: I changed my wheels.

From 15x6 205/60 to 16×9.5 245/45

The new wheel/tyre combo is the exact same size from a side view and the new wheels are about 5kg lighter on each corner but I am finding it much harder successfully wheelspin on launches.

Sure the new tyre has a few mm more contact to the ground but it seems overly effective for my grip, using the same brand tyre on each setup

Thank You for the info. How does a bigger tire affect mpg?

[Jabberwockybird]

Nice lesson.

I'm wondering if pulling power would be affected or stay the same.

[crazyDIYguy]

Im thinking if i put slightly taller tires on my Subaru, it'll have lower RPMs at 65mph, which theoretically should net me better gas mileage...🤞

[HighMaintenancePS]

Can someone answer how all this relates to a dyno reading? I am still left wondering if larger wheels reduce dyno readings? Or is tyre diameter calculated fit on dyno runs?
And if all is corrected by calculation, meaning a given engine is producing a given torque and horse power, we are I am sure undoubtedly left with the knowledge that if grip is available a smaller tyre will accelerate faster and pull a load harder.

There’s a key factor you’re forgetting is the weight takes more energy to rotate more mass which will rob horsepower and torque at the contact patch that’s why race cars run lighter weight wheels I’m not saying your statements are incorrect I’m just saying you’re missing The E equals MC Square
