It's in your head. Jobst debunked the notion that higher tension makes stiffer wheels decades ago, both theoretically and confirmed by experiment. Going back to out tug-of-war, if the two teams are equally matched, it doesn't matter whether they are rugby forwards or national hunt jockeys, it still only takes a toddler added to one team to decide the match.
