Not only will a puney tire NOT roll onto it's sidewall, but having the wheel scrape along the ground will not cause a *gain* in traction. Rubber being scraped across pavement is sticker than metal being scraped across metal.
I don't need you to explain anything to me.
But, please allow me to reitterate my only point to you;
An over abundance of traction IS NOT THE ONLY thing that can cause a roll-over. There are a multitude of events that can and do occur that will result in a loss of control and an on-road vehicle roll-over.
One of which is an on-road tripping event, one possible tripping event is caused by a tire leaving the bead of the wheel's rim. Where high profile, this sidewalled, puney tires have more of a likliness to have this happen. Couple that with a vehicle that exhibits poor handling dynamics and bad things can happen, one of which could be a roll-over.
Infact, there have been numerous studies conducted by the NHTSA to determine which factors cause on-road roll-overs, both tripped and non-tripped.
Even the NHTSA admits that their findings still to this day have not conclusivly determined all of the factors (in which there are many) that can result in vehicle roll-overs. Or even which factor is the leading cause of vehicle roll overs.
Yep, I beat the horse a couple more times, and you are right....it's dead.
