Other than the technical-construction pro-
perties, an important role is taken on by
pressure; highpressure can, in fact, sharply
reduce the tread area in contact with the
ground. The reduction of pressure, a featu-
re of radial tires, makes it possible to opti-
mize traction abilities by reducing slippage
while reducingcompaction through thegrea-
ter distribution of weight on the surface co-
ming into the contact with the terrain. But
it must also be considered that reducing ti-
repressure can carry thenegativeeffect of
higher fuel consumption and greater wear
due to elevated resistance in transit en-
countered especially in road transport.
