your car weighs about a tonne so quarter of a ton on each wheel, that's not 'jack all'. Get in a cold car outside your house, drive a couple of miles round town and then feel the tyres - they will be warm. Heat is generated partly through friction, more so throught the distortion of the tread and sidewalls due to the turning / weaving motion.
