Yes, Fmax does increase. Look at the equation. Seriously, LOOK at it. That's EXACTLY what it says.

Dude, you're so wrong it hurts.
Fmaxstatic=mu*fnormal.
For the tires, Fnormal is NOT NOT NOT the braking force. Fnormal is the weight pushing down perpendicular to the sliding/rolling surface.
Trust me. Your understanding is flawed. I went to school for this stuff and CSG_Mike, IMOA, Dave_ROR and Racecomp Engineering area all correct. Without changing the mass on the tire or it's friction coefficient, it's fmax will not change due to the applied force.
