Although you might not think about them much, your tires are an incredibly important part of your vehicle. Everything from safety to performance requires having the right tire tread. Learn more about some of the risks of having worn tires and how you can tell when it’s time to replace your tires.
Safety on the Road
One of the most important reasons to have good tire tread is for your safety when you’re on the road. When the grooves in the tire aren’t deep enough to channel water away from the tread, you run the risk of hydroplaning and you have a harder time driving on slippery roads in the winter. Plus, not only is tire tread important for accelerating, but it’s also crucial for stopping. Worn tires with half the tread depth of new tires can take up to 6 feet longer to come to a stop on a wet road.
