A place to ask bicycle repair questions, and for bike shop monkeys to share advanced non commercial wrenching resources (no YouTube self promotion). This is only for repair related topics.

I'm not aware of any other tire on land that would vary based on being driven or not. Sure, a driven wheel has torque applied to it, but I haven't seen an automobile with an equivalent arrangement. Nor are rail wheels for that matter.
Also, all wheels are braked on a standard bicycle, which would subject them all to the same torque, which should exceed acceleration torque when adjusted properly.
