Once a tire starts skidding that means the maximum force of static friction has been overcome. Once that happens the force of dynamic friction begins and this is usually less than the static friction. That's why when you brake you don't want your tires to skid if you can help it. The only way a skidding tire will "recover" is if you ease off the brakes to allow the wheel to roll enough so that the force of static friction falls below the current dynamic friction, so intermittent skidding won't happen without input. | |
