Aww, thats too much reading.

And I can't understand the advanced terms hes spitting out.

And he doesn't talk about weight ratings, and tire heat cycles. If you're unable to get the tires to its normal operating temps, they won't grip. Wider tires take longer to heat up. Also, wider tires don't necessarily have more contact patch.

btw, after reading the title, I'm pretty sure that the entire lecture doesn't cover real world issues and variables.
