> Remember that the top of a tire is moving forward > at *twice* the speed of the car
I was discussing this a short while back with a friend. If the top of the tire is moving at 2x, the axle is moving at 1x, then the bottom of the tire would have to be standing still. But we all know that it isn't, the entire tire is moving forward at 1x. that can't be true either or else the road would need to be moving at 1x also or else the tire would be skidding, but it's not. This must be what some of those advanced math courses I never took were all about.
What I do know is that is the perfect case against open-wheel vehicles and for enclosed wheels as much as possible. On a common production car, having the inner fender close and smooth matters. Which is why I put Cabriolet fender liners on my EV. A belly pan would be nice too, but a lot of work up on a lift to get designed and installed.
