Thousands upon thousands of racer have already been down this totally logical and obvious road. "Let's put the big tires on, we'll go faster!" :big tires installed: "Why are our lap times slower?"

The transverse isn't accurate either, I won't get quicker by simply putting on skinnier tires. It's all about setup equilibrium.
Take your talk of balanced configurations out of here.
