Someone once told me that when the car is going 100mph+ the tires stretch out and touch the road, providing full coverage. They could not answer how the tires maintained pressure while stretching that much nor how that provided any benefit that wouldn't have been there with the tires on the ground to begin with.

I mean this is true with dragsters but not most cars.

Look up a video of a dragster warming his tires. Those things balloon like crazy.
