Slip (vehicle dynamics)

Slip (vehicle dynamics)

In 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).
