What is the difference between static friction and rolling resistance?

[QUOTE="Dullard, post: 6331806, member: 646488"] You're confusing static friction and rolling resistance. Static friction is what keeps the tire from slipping. As long as it is not exceeded, it doesn't matter to your calculations. 'Rolling friction' is (mostly) the effort wasted into changing the shape of the tire as it rolls. Rolling friction is not relevant to a static analysis (which is what you appear to be attempting). [/QUOTE]
