Nope, ol mayf didn't bollix it up. Was talking about the coefficient of
friction between the road and the rubber and stuff in between. The
factor you quote is an old one and relates to rolling resistance, not
how slippery the road and rubber contact is.. Oh, and there are several
of those friendly formulas for rolling resistance, gotta know the tire
and surface conditions for use and then you get to pick the one that
meets your guess..

OK maties
Your dead right Mayf stuffed up big time using coefficient of friction,
it should have been coefficient of rolling resistance
