Um, essentially the physics is right, but they are missing something here, and I think a big point everyone here has missed is the air pressure in the tires.. ever notice how slicks WRINKLE(this is far more important than the thickness, width , compound rating etc...)? When a slick spins up, your contact patch is basically reduced anyways, look at a slick in slow motion in a burnout to see what i mean..)Think about all that and then ask yourself how this efects the Coeeficient of friction of the tires...(go back and think on your physics, and then pic a simple example... it might make it more clear to you...)Or better yet ask a guy running slicks to double his tire pressure and make a run for you to see what happens..
