Why the fuck would you want grip? The tires are not connected to an engine, the rocket provides all the power. And there's no cornering in a quarter mile. If anything you want tiny ass tires for as little grip as possible to minimize resistance

>but how do i into rocket?

How the fuck are your wheels going to be 'spinning' when there is nothing driving them? Think about it you stupid cuck. The rocket is going to accelerate the entire vehicle. The wheels will not matter. Weather you have massive drag radials or bicycle tires, you will have very similar accelerations.

Handling, on the other hand, is a different story.

gr8b8m8 but for those utterly retarded people out there who will believe this wholesale trains' grip comes entirely from their mass. Steel has a very low friction coefficient.

>>15138268

>being this retarded

First of all, toughness is much more important for this application. Rubber gets btfo at the temperatures produced by the friction that happens at those speeds.

Second, grip is almost irrelevant for motion in this scenario. The engine doesnt move the car THROUGH the wheels, like in any normal car, it just basically thrusts the whole fucking thing. Think of it rather as a rocket designed not to take flight and roll on solid steel cart wheels instead of a car.

TL;DR: You dont have a patrician's brain...perhaps the one from Patrick the Star.
>>
>>15138268
>>15141974

Oh, I forgot, on the subject of trains: they get traction from steel wheels not because of the tyre's grip but because they weight millions of metric fucktonnes. Steel>rubber again.
