RE: copyright, that mythical concept - tyre diameters

["Dave Eaton" <Dave.Eaton@clear.net.nz>]

different tyre pressures alter the size and shape of the contact patch.

changing tyre sizes does *not* change the *size* of the contact patch, only
it's shape.

both these factors will alter handling of any car, 2wd, 4wd, quattro
whatever.

Yes, Yes I agree! I'm waiting to hear how tire diameter affects the handling
with the Tdiff. Since many on the track run different f/r tire pressures.
My guess is this would fool the torsen into a different f/r bias...yes/no?
