Next time before you try to sound smart, 1. make sure you are smart, 2. make sure your logic is logical.

The signal to noise ratio here is disgusting.
1) Yes centrifugal force does exist. If it's spinning, there's centrifugal force.
2) Well at least for the front tires it does. Dragsters use skinny tires up front.
3) This is true. You want to maximize friction. Hence lower PSIs used to have more contact patch.
