roadholding
Cornering stability measure
Roadholding is a vehicle's ability to grip the road surface, especially when cornering, braking, or accelerating.
Good roadholding means tires maintain traction and the car responds predictably: The sports car's roadholding was exceptional on winding mountain roads.
The term appears mainly in automotive journalism and reviews.
