Roadholding and Handling



Cornering power describles the relationship between a tyre's slip angle and the cornering force it is developing

  

There is a finite amount of friction available to a tyre, illustrated by the 'Friction Circle'






 
   


When weight is transferred across an 'axle', a net loss of cornering force results
  








Anti-roll bars reduce body roll ...
 

... but stiffen the suspension as the body rolls - transferring weight across the 'axle'
