Can you explain this more? So your saying, a car weights 1000kg, using an identical tread pattern it would have grater lateral grip (on a 50mtr skid pad for example) using a 6" wide tyre than a 10" wide tyre? All other variables constant inc tyre pressure. That doesn't seem to make any sense... Two idential tread patterns, the tyre with the greatest contact with the road ie, the wider tyre will endow higher lateral grip to the chassis. A tyre generates 'grip' from the friction force it generates on the road surface. Maximal grip is a function of surface area on the road by the effectivnes of the tyre design..or so I would think.
