well i was just thinking if the friction between sliding tires and dry tarmac (or other equivalent rough surface) could bring the car to a stop better than the brakes themselves. When i've heard about ABS brakes it's always been in the context of slippery road conditions.

thanks to everybody, i didn't expect such helpful answers


sliding happens because there is a lack of friction. just like sliding on ice happens because of a lack of friction.

abs was designed specifically to keep you from locking up the brakes and sliding uncontrollably.

not when you lock the wheels using brakes

rolling resistance/friction is significantly weaker than sliding friction, that's why we have wheels. My question was whether the sliding friction between locked tires and dry tarmac provides a greater braking force than the ABS and i got the answer already.
