[QUOTE="ionbeam, post: 1320133, member: 277"] Physics says that friction is independent of surface area but in the real world one of my Impala SS 17x285x40 tires had about 8 times the contact patch of my entire FJR. I had added a bit to my earlier post while you were posting. [COLOR=#808080]Totally irrelevant but a fun fact, on the street, if I did nothing to manage traction and simply slammed the gas peddle down I could smoke those 285 tires to over 60 mph. At the drag strip, when stock it took 2.3 seconds to travel the first 60', later in life it took 1.72 seconds for 60'. In drag racing there are several speed breaks where measurement is made, 60' times is one of the indicators of traction and acceleration force. My '04 FJR ran 60' times around 1.68 to 1.70 60' times.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
