So we all know how car tires are less grippy when it’s wet.
But why is it better to use water or saliva on my fingers when trying to open a plastic bag, or quickly turn paper pages over?
And why does applying washing soap/shower gel to my slippery yoga mat make it grippy again?
Does this means car tires would be grippier on a soapy surface? Is so do they apply this principle in (for example) motorsports?
Thanks in advance folks!

You’re not making the page more grippy, you’re making the page wet and making a stronger bond with your finger while you turn it.
And soap doesn’t directly make your yoga mat more grippy, you’re just cleaning all the non-grippy dirt and grime off of it.
