Aww, come on Ron. Let's spitball a bit. I'm basically talking about the circle of adhesion. So, theoretically it would seem that if your coefficient of friction for the tire to the road surface is 1, then the maximum possible deceleration or acceleration or any single direction traction force would be 1G? Yes/No? I know there are tires available with COF on dry pavement or concrete above 1. That's mostly in the racing world. I wonder in street tires if the 200TW that seems to be the requirement for Goodguys, ASCS, and some others are capable of COF >1?
