That there is a pretty darn good line!

Well, if the shoe fits in this particular case, you may actually die with a car tire on board lol.

Traction = Friction.

Friction is a function of pressure per unit of area. If weight remains the same, surface area doesn’t mean more friction, it only means lower pressure per unit area but total friction remains the same. Thus slower tire wear.

This doesn’t account for road surfaces/imperfections, tire construction, or tire compound, but wider absolutely doesn’t automatically mean better grip.

I knew someone would sneak that one in. Did you not they have not one but two Car Tires probably to increase the size of the contact patch.

NOPE, Rick!
Side hacks don't lean, just like cars, Amigo.

I’ve had my darkside Roadster to about 130 with no vibration or speed wobble or anything. She was smooth as silk. I run around 42 psi in the rear. 38 caused wobble.

Usually 3 actually.

Main reason people go darkside is to save money, .

The other is not having to source a tyre half way through a trip in another country where you don't speak the language. You know - Glasgow or worse still Geordie country.
