Sounds like you confuse static friction with rolling resistance due to tire deformation. Here an old thread on this:Scheuerf said:direction of the cars motion, and friction acts in the opposite direction
Centripetal force is a force that acts towards the center of a circular path, keeping an object moving in a circular motion. It is always directed perpendicular to the velocity of the object.
Friction is necessary for centripetal force to exist. When an object is moving in a circular path, friction acts as the centripetal force that keeps the object on its path.
Centripetal force does not affect the speed of an object, but it does affect the direction of the object's velocity. It keeps the object moving in a circular path at a constant speed.
Centripetal force is the force that keeps an object moving in a circular path, while centrifugal force is the apparent outward force that appears to pull an object away from the center of the circle. Centrifugal force is actually just the inertia of the object trying to continue moving in a straight line.
Centripetal force is directly proportional to the mass of the object and the square of its velocity, and inversely proportional to the radius of the circular path. This means that as mass or velocity increases, centripetal force also increases, and as the radius increases, centripetal force decreases.
