tire tracks cannot grab on to ice as it is a completely flat surface, and when it is already moving in one direction, trying to turn at too fast of a speed or slow at too fast of a speed can cause sliding
Because your tires have little friction against ice and snow!
I don't recall the exact formula, but, it involves the car's speed and the car's tires slip angle at a given speed.
yes, because the car tires are most likely to slip.
take your foot off the gas, tires are spinning. its called traction control
no
your tracking needs re setting.
the tread is part of the tyre that is supposed to touch the ground
If you mean to the tires spin at the starting line then the answer is yes. while its not enough to smoke the tires they do spin some.
get in a front wheel drive car with a few stacks of mcdonalds trays under the rear tires, put on the parking brake and drive around an empty parking lot making lots of turns :P
your car needs a wheel alignment, could be to much toe in or toe out. which means your front tires are angled slightly different directions. i would recommend a balance and rotate aswell as your front tires could be more worn than the rear.
the tires are made of rubber. when rubber gets wet, it gets slippery, which means less friction from the tires to the ground, making it easy for the car to keep going instead of stopping. also, a car is very heavy, so momentum definitely kicks in ALOT. think of it this way. car tires that are dry + dry land = alot of friction and quick stopping. but make every thing slippery and the friction goes away.
The groves are for traction, or grip on the road. Without them, cars would slip and slide a lot more.
