Why do cars skid more easily on rainy days? Answer: The coefficient of friction between a tire and a wet road is LOWER than the coefficient of friction between a tire and a dry road. It should also be noted that during a dry period, roads are covered by a thin film of dust as well as oil that has leaked from vehicles. At first the rain mixes with these and creates a very slick surface, even further reducing the coefficient of friction. After the rain has washed away some of the dust and oil the roads are slightly less slippery, but still much more so than on a dry road. Note too that standing water can cause a tire to "Hydroplane" at high speed, with "high speed" being a variable that depends on the condition of your tires and the amount of standing water. Hydroplaning is a condition in which the tire is literally lifted off the surface of the road and rides entirely on a film of water.
