1St Harmonic

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2023 Porsche Panamera, 2022 Porsche Panamera, 2021 Porsche Panamera, 2020 Porsche Panamera, and 2019 Porsche Panamera. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The changes in radial force variation can be broken down mathematically into individual variations. Porsche uses the value of the 1st Harmonic Variation (basic variation) to assess the tyre from the point of view of rigidity. The 1st Harmonic Variation relates to the changes in radial force that cause the strongest vibrations. Changes in radial force can also result in further harmonic variations (2nd-4th Harmonic. These relate to the changes in radial force that cause weaker vibrations.
