Sound and Vibration Characteristics?
This section says; '(t)here is a study 'under development' which aims to predict the interior noise due to the vibrations of a rolling tire…' yet, there's no citation, nothing, whatsoever to back this up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by UNOwenNYC (talk • contribs) 02:06, 30 October 2016 (UTC)
- I guess that is twenty years old. At least that’s how long OEMs have be en doing it. Greglocock (talk) 00:12, 8 December 2025 (UTC)

Unit placement
I think we need to flip the units so that weight carrying capacity and speed are displayed in the SI units first. It appears those are the defining (rounded) units, as in 550 to 1,100 pounds (250 to 500 kg). What caught my attention was the speed rating 186 miles per hour (299 km/h), where the original number was 300 km/h and convert has given 299 km/h. Avi8tor (talk) 05:08, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

"Damage" vs "compromise"
Greglocock, in reviewing the section, "What do tyre particles do to humans?", in the cited article, It suggests that general exposure to the particles released by tire compounds increases risk of adverse affects, but does not create a certain adverse outcome. It says that the dispersal of airborne nanoparticles "puts city-dwellers at significant risk of exposure", which "may particularly affect members of the population who have pre-existing conditions". The article advocates increasing our knowledge on the subject. In view of this, how does "...that contain these chemicals, which enter the environment and elevate risk of damage to human health" sound? Sincerely, HopsonRoad (talk) 02:29, 18 March 2026 (UTC)
- Good, much better than mealy mouthed 'compromising human health'. ~~~ Greglocock (talk) 04:32, 18 March 2026 (UTC)
