BDifficulty 2/5

Even if the transported load stays the same, can the force borne by a tyre change during braking, acceleration or cornering?

Correct answer

Yes, it can vary because of load transfer.

Yes. Manoeuvres transfer load between axles and wheels; gradients and road irregularities also matter. A tyre’s dynamic load is therefore not a fixed share of the transported load. This does not depend on driving in a city or outside it. It does not mean the force must change continuously during every instance of steady travel.
