Does that make sense now?

Yes it does now. So it is desirable to have driving tyres with high static frictional coefficient
and low rolling frictional coefficient.

I am currently reading "Engineering Mechanics - Statics, R.C. Hibbeler, 12th Edition"
and I think engineers probably understand these concepts better than the physicists.
For example, there treatment of topics like "Free body Diagram" is far better than physics
textbooks like Serway or Halliday & resnick... which is not surprising since for engineers
understanding mechanics is part of there bread and butter...
