How to Solve Tire Slippage?
2 Answers
Tire slippage requires different handling methods depending on the position of the tire. The specific solutions are as follows: 1. Front tire slippage: Release the accelerator pedal, do not press the brake or clutch pedal, and turn the steering wheel to align the front wheels with the direction of the car body. However, avoid over-steering to prevent rear tire slippage. Once the front tires regain traction, gently press the accelerator and steer back to the correct direction. 2. Rear tire slippage: Release the accelerator or brake pedal, do not press the clutch pedal, and avoid gripping the steering wheel too tightly. Turn the steering wheel in the direction the rear of the car is sliding—for example, if the rear is sliding to the right, steer to the right.
Last time I was driving in the rain and my tires slipped when turning, which scared me so much I broke out in a sweat. Since then, I've learned that slowing down is key: especially on slippery roads, gently pressing the accelerator or brake to avoid sudden movements. Checking tire condition is important, as insufficient air pressure or excessively worn tread can reduce grip. Just find an auto repair shop to check the tire pressure or get new tires. Regularly cleaning mud and stones from the tires can also prevent slipping. Before long trips, I always make it a habit to do a quick check. Don’t forget to unlock the anti-slip system—many cars now have that feature, and it can be a big help. Pay attention to weather forecasts, and using winter tires in snowy conditions is safer. These small habits save me from running into trouble again.
