How does tire tread increase friction between tire and road?
tires are made of rubber and rubber can cause friction
Does gravity cause a bicycle tire to wear down?
No. That would be friction.
What is rolling friction and what does it do?
In general rolling friction is any friction specifically related to the rolling motion. The friction on the axle to hub bearing, the tire flexing, the tire tread on the surface of the road and so on.
Which wheel of vehicle will have more friction one having wider tire and one having sleek tire?
Friction or grip if it's friction i think the tyre with the most contact with the road surface. If it's grip then the one with the tread
What would cause one tire to lose tread and not the rest?
heat
What effect would a worn tire have on friction?
A worn tire reduces friction and tracktion, this could be dangerous in bad weather conditions., A2 A worn tyre would actually improve friction in dry conditions, because the surface area touching the road, will be greater without tread. This why racing cars use 'slicks' in dry conditions. The problems arise in wet weather. The thinnest film of water between the tyre and the road, will cause a sudden decrease in friction, 'aquaplaning'. The tread is there purely for wet conditions.
Tire wear bars?
When the tire tread wears down to the wear bars, the tires are ready for replacement.
Why would cause your car lose power after running over a tire tread on the highway?
The large chunk of tire tread may have ripped the wires off a O2 sensor.
What would cause a ticking noise coming from your right front tire?
CV Joints? Rocks in the tire tread?
When should a tire be replaced?
when the tread is worn down to 1/16 inch
What is the functiion of a tie bar in the tread of a tire?
It is an indicator of tire tread wear.
The rough tread on the tires increases friction between the tire and the ground?
It does not! In fact will DEcrease contact and therefore friction. A bald or smooth tyre will be best on dry surface. The purpose of tread on tyres is to sipe away water on wet road and a rough tread would act in similar manner though far less efficiently.
