As each tire on a vehicle rolls down the road, it creates a drag force. It is composed of the energy loss created by the deflection of the tire sidewall and the compression and deformation of the tire tread in the footprint [...]

There was a time when drivers preferred “tall rubber,” 11R24.5 tires. The thinking was that the taller the tire, the fewer revolutions per mile and the greater the tire life.
