Thanks for sharing your dragy numbers and your settings/DA. Always interested in seeing performance data even from dragy, but only formal slips from sanctioned tracks are being entered into the spreadsheets.
Yes, at least in theory, wider tires should help with the initial traction. But they also produce higher rolling resistance throughout the run, thus potentially negating the initial advantage.
