Rolling resistance is a complex phenomenon, but simply put, it is the energy a tire consumes while rolling under a load. The resistance is influenced by the friction between the tire tread and the road surface, and the amount of energy consumed by the flexing of the tire sidewalls as the tire rolls over the road.
Dictionary of Automotive Terms. See roll stiffness . This is a general term which may be applied to materials or structures. When a force is applied to a structure, there is a displacement in the direction of the force; stiffness is the ratio of the force divided by the displacement. High stiffness means that a large force produces a small displacement.
