It means you can get a lot of sparks when you spin your wheels.

I already order a new pair but Ive noticed that it seems like my car accelerates slower. Also when accelerating hard on 1st and shifting to second, it doesnt chirp anymore.

So if your tires chirp on every shift, it means its faster?

...yeah..

Well the friction must include the contact patch somehow. Don't tell me that a 225/35/18 tire will have the same grip as a 285/35/18 tire, even if it is the same brand and model.

i dont know the application of it in real world.

but theoretically, no. but that's just in theory.

Force of Fricition = Coefficient of Friction * Mass

No surface area.
