The same principal of why it stops faster on wet applies to dry. The Mu is ALWAYS higher for static (non skidding) objects than it is for sliding or skidding objects. This is only good for flat surfaces. Once you start talking about loose surfaces like gravel or sand or heavy snow, the situation changes.
