RE: Quick tire question guys.
Yeah i know what you're talking about. It's the ballooning effect at high speed caused by centrifugal force. It effectively re-gears the vehicle, giving you a higher top speed.
Many people try to aviod this effect but it seems like a good thing, at least on-road. Only thing to worry about is tyre wear - if the contact patch is reduced you're going to get more wear along the centre part of the tyre.
