#tyres #widevsnarrow #4x4tyres

Which is best - wide or narrow tyres? Do wider tyres really give you a greater contact patch than narrow, and if so, how much more? And is the contact patch a different shape? Wide and narrow tyres are also known as fat and skinny, but the concept is the same regardless of the name.

In this video I measure some tyres of different widths and diameters, narrow and wide. and discover the truth about contact patch. And I explain the two types of grip, and how contact patch size affects grip.
