I simply, wrongly assumed that the question being asked implied more than it did.
Anyway, a couple of my observations were echoed in that article:
The question that has been going around is not particularly artfully worded, and I think that has caused some of the disagreements...
The only time it could be a problem is if the wheel speed got so high that the tires blew out.
But if you choose not to ever accept advice from an automotive internet forum based on peoples' discussion of some hypothetical aero-situation, no skin off my back.
