Ok, smarty pants you just couldn't keep that big mouth of yours closed. I said in a previous reply that if I wanted a lecture, I would have called my father and that is exactly what I meant.

Your pethetic attempt at explaining fatigue failure was quite entertaining. However you are incorrect. I will now enlighten you and everyone else of the correct situation. As the rotational speed of a tire increases, the tire will deform and tend to grow in size. This process causes the generation of heat. It is a normal process caused by centrifugal force. As the tire spins faster, its tendency to deform increases. The more it deforms, the more heat is generated and eventually it will fail.

Now I will elaborate on your theory. You stated that the tire fails due to the flexing of the sidewalls. In reality the faster the tire is spinning the less the tire bulges until it eventually will not bulge at all. This is dependent on tire speed, the weight of the car, and the sidewall properties of the tire. Tire failure has nothing to do with the bulging sidewalls. Cycling polymers (rubber) at high frequencies can cause localized heating (in the sidewall). If the tire is underinflated your explaination will apply to a certain degree, however speed is much smaller factor. Time would be the largest factor.

Also, the rating system used to rate tire speeds indicates the top speed for which the tire is certified (very conservative). It does not indicate the total performance capabilities of the tire. I guess we could argue about it all day, but in real life my tires will not blow out going over 100mph for a short period of time. They may blow out if I went say 120mph for 2 hours.

Where do you get off insinuating that I want to race and put you and your familiy's life in danger? I never stated why or where I wanted to go 100mph. I think your a wanabe goody goody and disgrace to the truck you drive.

 

You don't have to attack people who are concerned about your attempt to deactivate the speed limiter on your truck. By the way, it's more than just the tires that can fail at that high rate of speed. Maybe you need to call your father for a lecture. Is it his truck?

 

This pissing match stops now.
