Cornering Force
Cornering force is the lateral force generated by a tyre when it operates at a slip angle during cornering. It is the primary mechanism that allows a vehicle to follow a curved path. Cornering force depends on tyre construction, compound, inflation pressure, and vertical load. Higher cornering forces indicate greater lateral grip and more responsive handling.
