  1. Do you realize... that the faster you travel, there is a  substantial reduction in the actual amount of tire surface on the road...


  2. Mechanical term is "coefficiant of friction."  Added speed counteracts the drag caused by friction.  That is why a car takes longer to stop from 70 mph than from 30 mph.

  3. It is quite literally trying to fly, and that is why you need a lot more juice. As it loses traction, it takes more fuel to maintain speed.

  4. A car will not lose traction the faster it goes unless it is cornering, when lateral forces are applied..

  5. your car is unbalanced, take it to a garage and get ur wheels balanced

  6. The momentum of the car is high, so the lateral force acting at a different direction to that of the tire (when cornering) can be greater than the coefficient of friction of rubber on bitumen.

  7. water on the road, bald tires, loose gravel, ice, snow,

  8. If you're talking about a mechanically sound car on a straight, smooth, and even road, the only reason you could lose traction is if the car's aerodynamics are flawed and cause too much lift reducing the contact patch between the tires and road.
