TIRE FRICTION ON WATER LUBRICATED ROADS

THE LOW COEFFICIENTS OF FRICTION BETWEEN TIRES AND THIN FILMS OF WATER ARE DISCUSSED. THEORIES AND DATA REGARDING THE MECHANICAL ACTION OF THIN WATER FILMS BETWEEN TIRES AND ROADS ARE PRESENTED AND IT IS SUGGESTED THAT MORE INVESTIGATIONS ARE NECESSARY. RESEARCH AREAS FOR IMPROVING TIRE FRICTION ARE SUGGESTED.
