What it means is more sidewall compression on launch, which leads to a bigger contact patch.

When turning, it means the tires lean on their sidewalls, reducing their contact patch and making turn in feel sloppy.

So no, a taller sidewall does not mean more traction, it means more traction for drag racing, less traction and predictability for handling.

This isn't the S-chassis drag racing thread.
