Cars being driven on icy roads can have better traction if they have chains on their tires because chains increase the between the tires and the road?

Chains increase the surface area which increases the friction so you gain traction.

Why is it important to have good tread on your shoes?
As in automobile tires, the purpose of the tread is to increase traction (friction). They increase the surface area of shoe-to-ground contact.. Further, the tread forces softer ground to mold to its shape, allowing more lateral force to be applied to each step. All this increases the traction between your shoes and the ground and allows better control of movement (allows more applied energy to each step with less slippage).
Why do mars rovers have motors in each wheel?
For better traction.
Why does moist skin increase the danger of a severe shock?

Why is sand important?
There are many reasons why, and I have really no clue, but i believe sand is important because of beaches. I love beaches! I'm only doing this because I got bored, so don't use this for science.
Can you have acceleration problems with the traction control system problems?
with traction control on you have better acceleration because the ecu is giving the right amount of power to the wheel with most traction.
Did life expectancy increase because of better?
Because of better condition
What types of tires cause a lot of friction?
I think you may mean traction? Usually the wider the tires the better. Also racing tires greatly improve cornering because of their soft compound which grabs the road better.If you meant friction... um, I would say skinny tires because it would be easier to "burn out" or lose traction, causing lots of friction.The loss of traction, when talking about cars, will increase the amount of friction and heat.
Why soccer cleats increase your speed oppposed to tennis shoes and flip flops?
most tennis shoes are smooth on the bottom and cleats have things on the bottom of them that can stop you when you are moving better
Why do Heavy cars have better traction in snow than light cars?
because the weight of the car pushes down on the tire more making it wider giveing it more traction, also it works better if you have flatter tires.
Did life expectancy increase because of better Hygiene?
