Re: Tire Size Question
The reason you use a 13 pound flywheel is to allow maximum ACCELERATION
of the engine. The reason for lightweight tires is to allow
ACCELERATION. The reason to not take your girlfriend along is
ACCELERATION So what does weight have to do with steady state? (other
than the additional wear on the bearings?)

Re: Tire Size Question
Horsepower, or imagine the the force you would need to peddle your
bicycle, now put your Jeep tire on the bicycle and peddle. E=mc². The E
stands for energy. The m stands for inertial mass, which is similar to
(but not the same thing as) weight. C squared stands for the speed of
light multiplied by itself. I would say Lance Armstrong bike wheel are
very light right about now in france, not like his mountain bike.

Re: Tire Size Question
That is why I asked the question it makes sense. Also, it was an SE TJ I
looked at it yesterday. He is a young kid at work and his dad gave him the
TJ because his car died. It gave his dad a new excuse to get a Rubicon. He
see me with my TJ and has a ton of questions I told him I do not know some
of the answers but I know where to ask.

Re: Tire Size Question
That is why I asked the question it makes sense. Also, it was an SE TJ I
looked at it yesterday. He is a young kid at work and his dad gave him the
TJ because his car died. It gave his dad a new excuse to get a Rubicon. He
see me with my TJ and has a ton of questions I told him I do not know some
of the answers but I know where to ask.
