I think I’m not wanting that much specificity. Which was a concern when I posted. It might not be possible to get the information I’m wanting, and that’s ok. I’m just looking for some how to add a little science into my decision process. Everyone has an opinion on which tire is best, but...

I am interested in the force required to start a tire moving from a dead stop on my side by side/UTV. Using the weight of the tire and the diameter of the tire and maybe the rolling resistance, if published. I want to compare how weight and size of tire affect the force needed to start a tire...

I am looking for an application to see how much force is needed to start a tire spinning to compare different sizes and weights of different brands of tires. This is to help give an idea of stress on a transmission. I have searched an hour hear as well as Google looking for a formula or...
