If this is indeed the case, I wonder at what velocity it becomes relevant.

Racing velocity, when you are at the limit of adhesion. An easy way to think about is with a helux, like in an airport parking garage. That would be easy to try because hp wouldn't matter much and the radius is tight and continuous. You could easily increment up speed.
Of course knowing that going down your accel due to gravity is subtracting from normal force to tires, versus adding in the uphill direction should be enough.
Probably why hill climbs are so popular.
Fun little question darisc, thanks for the provocation.
