What else can I help you with?
Wet roads reduce traction but have no effect on braking distance.?
True
What information do I need about changing my tires?
Understand that the primary function of tread on a tire is to divert water from beneath the tire to improve traction and avoid hydroplaning on wet roads.
When is traction poorest?
...Vehicle is suspended in mid-air.
What would happen if automobile tires had no treads on them?
You will lose traction especially on wet roads.
Why do cars tend to skid on a rainy day?
A vehicle loses traction on wet roads especially if the tires are worn.
Why might cars skid on wet roads?
Cars might skid on wet roads because water creates a layer between the tires and the road, reducing friction. This reduced friction makes it easier for the tires to lose traction and slide, leading to skidding. It is important for drivers to adjust their speed and avoid sudden maneuvers to prevent skidding on wet roads.
Why smooth tires are not used in passenger cars though they provide more traction?
They won't provide more traction when the roads are wet, it would be like driving on ice.
What do you put on a road when it snows?
Salt or a mixture of salt and sand is typically placed on roads when it snows to melt the ice and improve traction for vehicles. Sand alone can also be used to increase traction on icy roads.
Does AA traction grade tells you how your car reacts on wet roads?
Yes, It is a rating of how well it "stop" in the wet. AA is the highest rating, A, B, C is the lowest.
What does tire rating traction a mean?
Tire Ratings - Traction grades Traction grades are an indication of a tire's ability to stop on wet pavement. A higher graded tire should allow a car to stop on wet roads in a shorter distance than a tire with a lower grade. Traction is graded from highest to lowest as "AA", "A", "B", and "C".
How much do wet roads reduce traction?
Quite a bit especially if your tires are worn down to or below the tread depth limit.
What is traction light in dodge neon used for?
It notifies the driver that the road conditions are creating reduced friction between the tyres and road surface, hence, reduced traction. You'll see it on particularly wet roads, snow/ice covered roads, etc.
