by lowering the pressure in the tires but it depends on what kind of soil the track is in, for example for wet conditions you need more traction as you need to lower the pressure in the tires so you get more drive. Buy a pressure Gauge.

∙ 12y agoCar tires are usually made of the same rubber which is a combination of natural rubber and synthetic rubber.
Friction doesn't really depend on the rubber type because most wheels are made from the same rubber combination. What friction depends on is on the treads on your wheels. If the treads wear out they become slick they lose friction.

What are five examples of friction being increased?
~Putting chains on truck tires in the snow ~Rubbing your hands together ~Car Brakes ~Race Cars have special tires to increase traction and friction ~When you walk it's friction that keeps you from sliding all over the place
What would happen if the coefficient of friction between the tire and the pavement increased greatly?
Nothing. That's exactly what you want. When your coefficient of friction decreases too far, you need new tires.
The friction which allows a car's tires to grip the roadway?
This type of friction is called traction.
Is the friction between car tires and pavement greater when the car is at rest or in motion?
Interesting - static friction is greater than moving friction; but if the car is not in a skid, then the part of the tires in contact with the road is not moving ... thus static friction holds in both cases.
What is the coefficient of friction for bicycle tires?
twice as much as half of it!
Is friction increased with inflated tires?
No, when your tire is at the optimum recommended pressure friction is least.- You will notice this most on bicycle tires, when pressure is low, it's harder to pedal. I pump my bicycle tires to 45 psi and have a smooth, fast ride.

How is friction increased in motocross tires?
by lowering the pressure in the tires but it depends on what kind of soil the track is in, for example for wet conditions you need more traction as you need to lower the pressure in the tires so you get more drive. Buy a pressure Gauge.
How friction increased?
With increased surface areas in contact, friction increases.
What part of a bicycle is a useful friction?
The brakes! And the tires (no friction = no traction).
Which tires produce less friction?
Narrower tires with harder rubber
Why car tires spark?
friction
Why tires have grooves on their surface?
To increase friction
What is the friction that results from your tires interacting with the road that allows your vehicle to move forward?
This type of friction is called static friction.
Using the ideas about friction and deceleration explain using a new tire than badly worn tires?
New tires actually have less friction on dry surface than old, bald tires, but once the old tires hit water, you new tires quickly win.
What knid of friction works on a car as it moves?
Friction from the air or wind resistance. Rolling friction of the tires and friction within the engine, transmission, and differential.
