Solution

  1. Friction between the tyres and the road is very important for the safe driving of the vehicle.
  2. The tyres of the vehicle are provided with deep grooves to increase the friction between the tyre and the road.
  3. In the case of moisture on the road, the deep grooves hold the moisture between the grooves, enabling the least interaction of moisture with the tyres.
  4. Due to the least interaction of the moisture with the tyre surface, the frictional force is increased.
  5. In the case of loose soil, the deep grooves hold the soil between the grooves which increases the friction and gives proper grip to the tyres.
