Good read. The article deals primarily with motorcycles, but the effects can be observed with cars too.

I doubt it would be much use for dyno-ing a bike, but for cars they actually do have dynos that attach directly to the hubs rather then using a roller. That's probably the most accurate way to dyno, since you're completely eliminating the variables of wheel size, tire pressure, tread wear, etc....
