Narrowing the tire tread to a V has three benefits:
1.) Lowers the moment of inertial of the wheels, so the accelerate faster.

Maybe. A few decimals down...

2.) Cuts air resistance of the wheel.

At these speeds air resistance is a small part of it.

3.) Lowers rolling resistance.

I think this is the one that matters.

However you can get away with it...
