its harmful to the engine, but without it your car could not move as the tires would just spin. can't have one without the other although things can be done to reduce it in the engine and increase it at the tires.

How is friction harmful when driving a car?
Friction slows down a car. As such, in order to maintain the velocity of the car, energy, i.e. gasoline, is required due to friction.If there were no friction, an impossible state, the car would require no energy to maintain its velocity once it had achieved the desired velocity.
What is one harmful way friction affect a car?
Cars don't get better gas or mileage.
Negative and positive effects of friction?
friction can cause: 1) Physical wear and tear of moving parts. 2) degradation of materials by continuous friction. 3) wastage of 70% of energy in car engines. However, friction is useful in: 1) walking 2) car brakes, friction between brake pads and Tyre causes car to slow down. 3) techniques like friction welding.
Is friction is always benificial yes or no why?
Ways that friction are beneficial: Standing - Friction allows you to stay in position instead of moving around even when you do not want to Braking of cars - Similarly, friction makes it possible to make a car stop Ways that friction is nuisance: Wear and tear - Friction produces heat, which would flatten shoe soles, smoothing the gears or other mechanics in machineries
What is a feature of a car that increases friction?
the front boot of the car increases the friction on the car
Do car brakes reduce friction?
Friction is what makes the brakes stop the car.
How does friction change how far a car goes?
Friction does work to slow down the car. Thus, the more friction there is, the less distance a car can go.
Does friction reduce or increase when a car is moving?
Friction is de opposition of motion. if a car is in motion, the friction is said to be reduced because it oppose de movement of the car.
