That basic equation assumes minimally elastic solids. Surface area matters more as the material becomes more elastic.

There are a lot of good resources to school up on traction out there. I'd recommend taking a look.

The basic equation accounts for adhesion as part of the coefficient of friction. Surface area doesn't matter.
