What tires to install

Wheels and tires are an important part of the running gear. The area of contact between the tire and the road is approximately equal to the area of the palm of your hand. One has only to imagine that in these small areas there are huge forces during acceleration and braking, as well as on curved tracks, and it immediately becomes clear that the tires need maintenance and control.
