A rain tyre or wet tyre (spelt tire in American English, commonly shortened to wet) is a special tyre used in motorsport in wet weather as opposed to a slick tyre used in dry conditions.

[ 1 ] Road slipperiness can be measured either in terms of the friction between a freely-spinning wheel and the ground, or the braking distance of a braking vehicle, and is related to the coefficient of ...

In (automotive) vehicle dynamics, slip is the relative motion between a tire and the road surface it is moving on. This slip can be generated either by the tire's rotational speed being greater or less than the free-rolling speed (usually described as percent slip), or by the tire's plane of rotation being at an angle to its direction of motion (referred to as slip angle).
