well, if you take this to the extreme, and have a contact that is 100cm wide, according to your philosophy that tyre will not generate any more grip than a contact patch that is say 10cm wide. correct? surely this cant be the case. why would a top fuel dragster use huge wide tyres if it didnt produce any more traction than your normal 10" slick?

i understand that the law of diminishing returns applies, and that we are talking more about lateral cornering grip than straight line traction here, but some of these principals must be common between the two, no? even when you consider the effect of a ladder bar/four link rear end (which just simulates more weight)
