Having driven in a cooler of a big box store, yeah those things will slide forever on wet concrete. Super fun when you’re rushing to get work done for the day.
Happened to me. I rammed the forks into the open back of the semi and pierced a little into the cardboard boxes. No damages but the 5secone of sliding when I tried to break with wet tires felt insane.
Breaking traction when driving through a puddle.
I assumed they are super heavy and would stick to the ground, nope.
The tyres are essentially treadless drift-tyres, and any water on a polished concrete surface will allow some sliding.
This was without load and no crash ensued, just a momentary boost in adrenaline as 1.5 tons is moving a different direction as expected.
