: boy scout motto... be prepared... definitely have different types of wheels at the regionals

OK I need sombody to explain somthing to me
We want more traction so I tell our Engineer that we need wider wheels to put more area in contact with the ground. and he says no we would gain NOTHING out of it because the wheels would have less weight on each square inch. But the way I am thinking is that we will not find a materal that has a high enough Friction that it will stand up to the sheer force when only about 1 square inch of it is in contact with the carpet. And if he is right then why do dragsters and high proformance cars have wide back tires. and I know from personal experance that a vehicle with skinny tires will spin before one with wide tires. (except in snow where you want to bite into it )

so could sombody tell me who is correct??
