I believe that would be friction.

What is the force between tires and the road when a car brakes?
The forces that occur between tyres and the road when a car brakes are traction and friction. Traction is the gripping of the tyre on the road, while friction is the force that occurs when two surfaces rub together.
Why do tires screech when the brakes of a car are slammed on?
The friction between the road and the tires creates and screeching sound.
Do you get new brakes or new tires first?
new tires. If the tires brake, you'll need it
If only external force can change the velocity of a body how can the internal force of the brakes bring a car to rest?
It is not the force of the brakes that is stopping the car but rather external force of friction between tires and the road. Notice that no matter what the force at the brakes is, the car won't stop if there is no friction there(ie. the road is slippery). This is an excellent question. Consider the NASA space shuttle. It has brakes, yet the brakes work only on the ground - only while the shuttle is landing. Why? In space, the brakes have nothing to react against. So, as the questioner suspects, the internal forces of the brakes alone are not sufficient to change the velocity of the space shuttle. But once the shuttle lands, and is rolling down the runway, applying the brakes creates friction between the wheels and the runway. And it is the external force of the runway pushing back against the braking wheels that causes the shuttle to slow down.
Where can I get brakes and tires checked at the same time?
you can go to grismer automotive service. They will check the tires and brakes and let you know the issues and tell you if the brakes and tires need to be replaced or serviced.
A car is driven up a hill at a constant speed Discuss all the forces acting on the car What pushes it up in the hill?
The forces acting on the car include: 1) Weight (mass x gravity) of the car. 2) Normal force between the inclined plane at each tire (perpendicular to the inclined plane). 3) Force of static (rolling) friction acting between the tires and the inclined plane (parallel to the plane and acting against the direction of rotation of the tires). 4) Force exerted by the car on the plane (parallel and opposing friction on the inclined plane). 5) Drag force depending on air resistance and velocity of the car. The car is allowed to climb the hill because of the static friction opposing the force it is exerting. Without this friction, it would not be able to climb the hill.
If friction isn't dependent on surface area but only on the coefficient of friction between two surfaces and the reaction force then why do racing cars use bigger tires with greater area?
Friction doesnt not depend on the surface area...but the force of friction does! We cannot change the friction of a material but we can change the force due to that friction on another material in contact with it. Using this concept, racing cars have bigger tires to minimise the force of friction acting on them. They cannot change the friction of the road, so they change the resultant force on the tires.
Should tires or brakes stop a vehicle?
Yes, that is the purpose of brakes.
When a driver wants to stop a car -------------- between the tires and the ----------------------- help stop the car?
When a driver wants to stop a car, they apply the brakes. The friction between the tires and the road surface help stop the car. How a vehicle handles is determined by the traction between the tires and roadway.
When an object moves around the circular track the centripetal force is provided by?
In an automobile, the friction force of the tires allows the vehicle to follow a circular course, because the friction, or grip, of the tires resists the sideways, or outward force known as centrifugal force. In free space, an orbiting body has gravity acting to provide the centripedal force.
When a car travels around a curve in the road helps to keep the car traveling in a curved path?
That force is simply the friction of the tires on the road. If the car was driving on a slippery ice surface, the friction might not be enough and the car would not make it around the sharp curve.
The parking brake brakes what tires?
The rear tires except Subaru which does the front.
