abstract="As a means of clarifying the role of vehicle and tire factors in the skidding process, the interrelationship of the tire-vehicle system with the driver-vehicle-roadway system is examined. This examination shows that it is not possible to isolate &quot;friction demand&quot; and &quot;friction available&quot; as separate, distinct entities but that it is feasible to identify &quot;skidding&quot; as a loss of control event in which the &quot;maneuver outcome&quot; departs from the &quot;maneuver demand.&quot; The various tire and vehicle design and operational variables governing the probability of skidding (as defined) are identified. The resulting perspective of &quot;skidding&quot; as a &quot;potential for loss of control&quot; is used as the basis for discussing counter-measures and to comment on treads in vehicle morphology likely to impinge of this potential.<p />",
