However with lower tyre pressures there is less force holding the tyre in shape. When under extreme force in the horizontal plane (such as in cornering) the rubber will elastically deform and cause heat to be generated. This heat is advantageous in that it causes a physical change in the rubber and it becomes soft and sticky. This translate...
