the ability of a vehicle to maintain traction and stability on the road surface
Roadholding is how well a vehicle stays stable and keeps its grip on the road, especially when turning or moving fast. A car with good roadholding stays under control and does not slide easily. This is influenced by things like the quality of the tires, the suspension system, how the weight is spread out, and the condition of the road. Sports cars and performance vehicles are usually designed for better roadholding, making them smoother and safer to drive in different situations.
- The sports car's excellent roadholding allowed it to take sharp turns at high speeds.

- The SUV's all-wheel-drive system enhances its roadholding on rough terrain.
- Manufacturers often test vehicles extensively to ensure optimal roadholding capabilities.
- Drivers appreciate vehicles that offer reliable roadholding during sudden braking.
