static sidewall sag is removed
Ive heard that if your tire diameter is slightly smaller (.5 or less) then what is used on the VD it wont make but a 5 to max. 10 hp change if that.

Yeah I understand what causes the sag in the tyre but I'm suggesting that this sag will be pulled out of the tyre, to some degree, by the centrifugal force of the rotating tyre at speed. To say that a tyre rotating at xxxx rpm as the car travels at 100mph is not effected by this is incorrect. The question is by how much and by how much this effect has on the accuracy of VD. Even the difference in air pressure in your tyre will have an effect. Lower your tyre pressure to 20psi and do the rotation measurement I mentioned early then pump it up to 35psi and repeat. I'd suggest there will be a difference in circumference.

the sag in a radial tire does not get centrifugally straightened to any degree. and even if it did it still would not change the rolling diameter of the tread. tread rolls same distance inflated 20psi or 40psi. something you can prove in your own driveway. something I have already done.

I got to 421hp with a 25.33" tire. I then adjusted the tire size to 24.71", this gave me exactly 400hp. Tire size makes a big difference in VD.
I changed my tire diameter by .5 just for curiosity and it changes my hp by about 30hp

A tire rotating at higher speeds tends to develop a larger diameter, due to centrifugal forces that force the tread rubber away from the axis of rotation. This may cause speedometer error. As the tire diameter grows, the tire width decreases. This centrifugal growth can cause rubbing of the tire against the vehicle at high speeds. Motorcycle tires are often designed with reinforcements aimed at minimizing centrifugal growth.

doesnt seem you read the posts in here then. the VD does not use an accelerometer like g-tech. with g-tech you only need to enter weight being accelerated. with VD you need to enter correct gear ratios so it can calculate an accurate speed over time. if you dont enter correct tire size the mph will be off. 1/2 tire diameter throws the calculation off pretty dang much. thats why I took the time to make this thread. the VD numbers are only as good as the numbers being entered into it. with some people entering correct tire sizes and others entering incorrect sizes it makes comparing hp numbers inaccurate. kinda like comparing dynojet numbers to mustang numbers. useless if you ask me. they never read the same. now we have VD numbers that are useless to compare as well.
