On wet surfaces, effects of speed on apparent coefficient of friction are reduced as surface texture becomes more coarse; although more consistent frictional coefficients obtained by increasing surface coarseness would assist greatly in reducing skidding, many other variables involved remain integral part of tire traction problem; tread design, tread compound, tire construction, surface, and temperature all have significance with widely variable effects on skid resistance; changes in tire load or inflation pressure within reasonable limits have small effects on skid resistance; finite evaluation of skid resistance is made extremely difficult by variable nature of many factors involved.
