When is traction the worst?

Traction is typically the worst in conditions where the surface is slippery, such as during rain, snow, or ice. It can also be compromised on loose gravel or mud, where tires struggle to grip the ground. Additionally, worn-out tires or improper tire pressure can significantly reduce traction, making it difficult for vehicles to maintain control. Overall, any scenario that reduces the friction between tires and the driving surface can lead to poor traction.
