Lbs/in lbs/ft lbs-ft/degree
Tire stiffness 1500 18000 3743.97028
Front ride rate 200
Front Wheel rate 230.7692308 2769.2308 575.995427
Total Front roll stiffness (given)(at the tyres) 520.8374681 6250.0496 1300
By isolating tire stiffness,
New front roll stiffness (at the tyres): 797.8820437 9574.5845 1991.49777
Hence,
The Front roll stiffness at wheel centre 567.1128129 6805.3538 1415.50234
