vibration costs
If we could simulate both conditions back-to-back in a calorimeter we could measure the actual heat gain.
The inertia which must be overcome to set up the cyclical motion is certainly absorbing power and the tire is deflecting somewhere during the transition,with hysteresis of the rubber generating heat (entropy).
