How do tires spin?

256 views

My partner has been asking me how tires spin (specifically on cars) and I don’t know how to answer. How do they spin without coming loose? How do they understand the speed you want them to go?

Thanks in advance!!

How do they spin without coming loose?

Tire air is pushing the tire outward but the rim keeps it there, and that forms a seal.

How do they know what speed to go?

The engine spins and that is connected to the rims that hold the tire on, since they are connected, when you press the gas pedal the engine spins faster and so does the tires.
