What reduces tire traction?
Correct answer: Slippery roads, worn tires, wrong tire pressure
Why
Traction depends on the tire-road contact. Slippery or sandy surfaces, worn tires and under- or over-inflation can reduce grip. Maintain tires and reduce speed on poor surfaces, using smooth steering and pedal inputs.
