The fact that they are puzzled by their data leads me to infer that it's a puzzling subject. There's probably more to it than we've thought of.

btw the drag racing tire analog is probably not very good, because different things are going on (mainly involving temperature of the tire tread) that most likely don't directly translate to robot wheels on carpet. My drag radials "hook" a lot better when I spin them enough to make them smoke for a while first....
