The tread of tires is designed to channel the water between the ridges, so that the upper tread stays in contact with the road. The tread gives water someplace to go as the tire rolls. It channels away from the surface of the tire so that the tire will make contact with the road.
That is why it is easy to hydroplane on worn tires. The water can't get out from under the tire fast enough and you end up riding on water.
Good tire tread (4/32" or more) helps keep the tire from going into a hydroplane situation. Good tire tread gives the water a place to escape letting the tire make contact with the road.
Good legal tire tread (not thread) helps keep the car from hydroplaning on wet roads.
Yes.
Safe driving is not dangerous driving
Yes, that would be a safe statement to make.
It is safe to change lanes when you look back and make sure no one is coming. Make sure you put your blinker on.
Most likely tires..check for worn spots or "bumps". After you speed up, tire rotates so fast its not as noticable. Usually front tires will cause this. Rotating may help. Old trick is take a penny and stick in tire tread to make sure tires have enough rubber to be safe, should cover Lincon's head when penny is put head first to measure tire tread depth.
To be safe. a rest stop. or just try to make it thru.
They try to make a safe, reliable, good driving experience for the owner.
Driving is already insanely safe. To make driving safer, we could ban radios while driving. Text messages and phones could also be banned. A maximum speed limit of 25 mph could be enforced. Helmets could also be required, as well as a 5 hour per day maximum driving allotment. All this could increase our safety by a very small amount.
They are no longer safe to use- danger of a blowout, and loss of traction when driving on wet roads. They may be recapped- covered with a layer of rubber- and returned to service. They may also be recycled- shredded and used for other purposes.
The treads are generally about a half inch deep. To check for safe tread depth use a penny, if you can't see the top of the head of Abe Lincoln then the tread is fine.
A penny can be used to measure for safe tread depth on your car tires. Hold the penny upside-down in a tread groove. If the top of Lincoln's head is visible above the tread wall, the tires are completely worn out, and need to be replaced, pronto.
You buckle up and you drive safe
