Many have noticed how race car drivers warm up the tires before starting. This technique is not an indicator of steepness at all. Thus, the rubber compound from which the tires are made reaches operating temperature faster, which increases the coefficient of adhesion of the wheel to the road surface.
Ordinary “rubber” for passengers also needs to be warmed up. Especially in winter when it hardens in the cold overnight. You can, of course, drive calmly for 2-3 kilometers, but a lot will happen during this time. After all, the traffic situation in the city is changing radically and continuously. Especially if there is ice and snow slurry on top of the asphalt. So close to the accident.
That is, it is better to warm up the wheels in advance so that their grip characteristics quickly reach standard values. This is achieved through short slips. However, keep in mind: if you have “studs”, then it is better to perform such actions not on a hard surface, but on snow. Otherwise you will be without “nails”. With Velcro it is much easier in this regard.
Few people pay attention to the suspension, but in vain. The CV joints have grease and the shock absorbers have oil. Lubricants must also be “ready”. If you do not do this and immediately go over the road with pits, then the knots will have to be tight, because the dense train will not be able to perform its functions properly. Over time, this will affect the resource.
For example, with shock absorbers, the seal is damaged, fogs up and streaks appear. Such a spare part must be replaced, as it directly affects safety: the car pulls to the side, and during sharp maneuvers the passenger car rolls. To extend the life of components, experienced drivers briefly spin the wheels. A few slips are all it takes to get the chassis ready for the journey. Then you can safely storm the slopes and pits.
Finally, “boxes” will come in handy in an emergency. Let’s say when the car skids on a slippery road. Skillful traction control prevents a visit to a ditch or an encounter with a lamppost. But this can only be done by an experienced person. So, first you need to work out the skill in a closed room and turn off the “anti-bux” if the system is in the car. Electronics must also be “cut off” when entering a steep climb. When slipping, the “iron horse” will slowly but surely creep up. Otherwise, you cannot do without the help of a neighbor with a winch.
