The term footprint is used almost synonymously. The following discussion only applies to pneumatic tires. Contact patch size The contact patch is the only connection between the road and the vehicle. Pneumatic rubber tires The size and shape of the contact patch as well as the pressure distribution within the contact patch are important to the ride qualities and handling characteristics of a vehicle.

Because pneumatic tires are flexible, the contact patch is different when the vehicle is in motion from when it is static.
