Focus on single tire model #67

New tire model is heavily based off of Niels Heusinkveld's video on his tire force generator spreadsheet, see: A (very) In Depth Look into my Tire Generator SPREADSHEET

Tire input parameters are:

tire_width: Tires width (m) tire_ratio: Aspect ratio of the tire tire_stiffness: value from 0.0 - 1.0 thread_length: Tires thread length (mm) tire_rated_pressure: Rated pressure of the tire (bar) tire_pressure: Target pressure of the tire (bar) tire_max_temperature: Maximum temperature of the tire (celsius)

Calculate tires springrate from tire parameters, then use it to calculate rated load and load sensitivity for the tire. Peak slips are also calculated from input parameters.
