The definitive answer is, YES, and, NO. First, the "no"... If you are concerned with traction during normal street driving, don't be. Tires are designed to work in a variety of temperatures and so hot or cold roadways matter very little. Of course wet or icy conditions do matter so slowing down a bit is a very good idea. Many modern vehicles have traction control devices built in, making traction problems even less of an issue.... The "yes".... If you drive any kind of race car, track temperature can make a huge difference in how the car performs. There, air temperature (overall density) especially cooler air will increase engine output, making a drag car that has marginal traction, suddenly begin to break the tires loose on the starting line. In a round track car (like NASCAR), track temperatures can affect how much side loading is possible without a loss of steering control. Crews monitor track and air temperatures closely and make adjustments to meet or anticipate changing conditions. There are countless articles that deal with this subject.

How does the distribution of the weight of the mousetrap car affect the traction of the wheels?
The more weight over the drive wheels, the more traction.
Does a 2000 trans am have posi traction?
Yes, a 2000 Trans Am does have posi traction. If a car has posi traction, it means that the car has a limited slip differential. Posi traction is good to have when traveling in ice or mud.
Do rotors affect traction control?
Yes.
What is low track?
If you are speaking of a car with traction control, it is the car letting you know the wheels are slipping and it has entered into traction control mode.

Why do car tyers have treads?
For better traction.
What is traction control in cars?
Traction Control ensures that there is enough traction i.e grip. If there will be too much power or a car might be on a frictionless smooth surface, the car might skid due to less traction and TC regulates power and ensures seemless driving
How does traction affect the speed of vehicles?
It affects it by killing people.
Does traction control of a car makes a car behave like a four wheel drive?
no.... traction control is where the vehicle will sense were its loosing its traction either the right driver side wheel or the back driver side wheel and it will reduce the torque to that wheel so it can gain traction again,
