Grip
Grip is the overall adhesion between the tyre and the road surface, enabling safe acceleration, braking, and cornering. It is determined by the tyre's rubber compound, tread design, inflation pressure, and the road surface condition. Grip is a finite resource shared between all driving forces — using more grip for cornering leaves less available for braking.
