Original sentence: Although the term, "tread element" is used, the compliance in the tire then leads to this effect is actually a combination of sidewall deflection and deflection of the rubber within the contact patch.Slip angle describes the deformation of the tire contact patch, this deflection of the contact patch deforms tire in a fashion akin to a spring
