[edit] Contact patch size and traction
"A larger contact patch does not mean more traction on a normal road, but might on snow or mud."
- Then why do race cars have wide tires? The tire article currently says "Dry traction increases in proportion to the tread contact area."-AndrewDressel (talk) 14:48, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
