Are tires friction?

Question

Are tires friction?

Answer 1

NO.  They are usually round and made of rubber compounds.

Answer 2

the tires them self are not friction, but friction is created when the tire rolls over a surface, kinda like rubbing your hands together and they get warm, the same things happen to tires.

Answer 3

They create friction on the road. The tires THEMSELVES aren't Friction.

Answer 4

absolutely. if there were no friction between the tire and the ground, your car would not be able to turn, brake or accelerate.

imagine your car on ice (which has some friction, but a heck of a lot less than dry surface)

Answer 5

As they heat up from driving there is more friction.

Answer 6

When a tire meets dry pavement on a highway, the two surfaces that are in contact ... rubber and asphalt ... have a high coefficient of friction, so your tires will have good traction.
