You should have used caps, Huge. For those whose physics are still at
kindergarten level.

Except there isn't a single distance from the centre of the axle to all
parts of the tyre in contact with the road ... the average distance
perhaps?
Even that doesn't work.

Huges simple minded O level fizzix cant cope with the reality of an
elastically coupled non-circular tyre attached in a non slip fashion to
a wheel.

This is the sort of thinking that creates climate Beleivers - people who
THINK they know a little bit of science ....
