If you take your example to the extreme and look at Top Fuel Drag Racers in slow motion during launch, you will notice that the BIAS ply tires they use become half the width under centrifugation forces when under full acceleration.  The shape of their footprint goes from | to ---. Under full torque the tires are already at the best footprint shape they can be (--), plus the aerodynamic drag becomes 4x less as they are half their initial width.
