If you have more contact surface, you'll have more friction/braking. That's why race cars have very wide tires: bigger tires=better grip.
Yep!! I can tell you paid attention in your HS physics class.
Consider a train - very small contact surface and pulling more than any RV. It is psi on the contact patch - the larger the patch the less PSI if the weight is the same.
Don't know.
But when trying for traction off road a skinny tire is better in many situations. If one wants to float as opposed to digging in then wide tires are better. If one wants to dig down to traction the thin tire is better.
