That only matters for acceleration doesn’t it? If a race is about maintaining high speed then minimizing rolling resistance seems more important than maximizing friction.
Better acceleration does help, but yes, rolling resistance is definitely important. If two tires had equal rolling resistance, the wider one would probably still be better because there’s less slipping.
Better contact patch?
