The other element is this: with a wider tire, one can generally run LOWER pressures, further adding to the area of the contact patch. I know I should have let you gentlemen fogure this out on your own, but I couldn't resist.
More to come . . .

OK, I'll bite. How come the lower pressures with wider tyres? And how do you get same contact patch with narrower tyres at same pressures? - same weight on less rubber = more squat?
Sometimes it seems easier just to turn the key and mash the pedal. But getting a primo setup has to be the goal.
