I agree with you Ron. But before we can get into sliding friction, we have to get past static friction. Now I'm not claiming to be an expert on tire dynamics, but even though the contact patch is moving (forward), I'm thinking it has a static friction coefficient in the lateral direction (sideways).

I'm very interested in your take on this postulation.

Ed, here are my thoughts on lateral force generated by a rolling tire from a previous thread.
Lateral force generated by a rolling tire is different from either static or sliding friction.
