ABSTRACT:
A mechanism adapted for reducing damage to a tire of a vehicle caused by execution of sharp turns, the tire being adapted to roll across the ground surface during forward vehicle travel, and said tire slides across the surface of the ground laterally with respect to forward vehicle travel during execution of sharp turns such that the tire encounters large laterally directed forces during execution of said sharp turn. A sprayer is carried by said vehicle for lubricating said tire with a lubricating fluid such that the fluid lubricates the tire for reducing friction between the tire and the ground as the tire slides laterally across the ground surface during execution of a sharp turn. An operator engagable control is provided for allowing the operator to selectively actuate the sprayer.
