Aspect ratio: sT = hT / wT 100

Tires with a larger number of plies have higher damping, because the
plies internal friction generates the damping. Tire damping decreases by
increasing speeds.
The amount of dissipated energy depends
on the mechanical characteristics of the tire. Hysteretic energy loss
in rubber decreases as temperature increases.
Consider a high hysteresis race car tire turning over road irregularities.
The deformed tire recovers slowly, and therefore, it cannot push
the tireprint tail on the road as hard as the tireprint head. The difference
in head and tail pressures causes a resistance force, which is called rolling
resistance.
Race cars have high hysteresis tires to increase friction
Street cars have low hysteresis tires
IMP : Hysteresis level of tires inversely affect the stopping
distance.
