What to Do When a Tire Locks Up?
1 Answers
A tire that locks up requires moving the car back and forth and then stepping hard on the accelerator. Below is a detailed introduction about it: 1. Introduction One: When braking, the braking system pushes the brake pads to clamp the brake disc on the wheel, using significant friction to stop the wheel from rotating, causing the vehicle to stop due to the friction between the tire and the ground. 2. Introduction Two: The essence of braking is actually converting the vehicle's kinetic energy into heat generated by the friction between the brake pads and the brake disc, as well as between the tire and the road surface. If the braking force that stops the wheel from rotating exceeds the static friction between the tire and the road surface, the tire will slide on the road surface without the wheel rotating, a phenomenon known as wheel lock-up.
