[QUOTE="Jules, post: 178286, member: 88"] .....if tyres contact patch is all that matters, we will be putting on the widest tyres we can find. same analogy here for brake pads cos they would calculated the correct surface area for the friction coefficient they want to achieve/advertise/claim. Yes. the matterial below the chamfer is wasted at the start but as the pad wears, the area actually increases......and the noise starts too. In summary, chamfers are for noise, squeel reduction. have fun! [/QUOTE]
