How does tread on tires affect your driving when the tread is worn away and the tires become bald?
the tyres could blow and you may lose controle of your car
Why are cars and trucks treaded?
Assuming you're talking about the tyres... The tread on the tyres channels water away from the wheels - allowing the tyres to grip the road better than if the tyres were completely smooth.
The rough tread on the tires increases friction between the tire and the ground?
It does not! In fact will DEcrease contact and therefore friction. A bald or smooth tyre will be best on dry surface. The purpose of tread on tyres is to sipe away water on wet road and a rough tread would act in similar manner though far less efficiently.
Why do racing car tyres not last as long as the tyres on normal cars?
Racing car tyres are made of very soft rubber. This gives them much better traction on the roadway, but they wear away very quickly.
How does it affect driving when the tread is worn away and the tires are 'bald'?
Bald tyres have less frictional grip on the road surface, especially during wet or frosty weather. Therefore, skidding off the road or crashing into other road users is greatly increased.Bald tires have almost no traction and are very dangerous. Hit any amount of water and your car will hydroplane. They are also very suseptible to a blowout.If it is wet, tyres slide. Shallower tread worsens wet situations by allowing more water to stay beneath the tyre.How they will affect your driving is that during precipitation events, the tyre will not be able to 'pump' water out from between the road surface and the tyre. In that event, the tyre will ride up on that film of water, lose traction and put you in a ditch.How bald tyres will affect your fuel consumption:If your tyres are worn and bald you will likely run into something when your car hydroplanes on water. After the car runs into something, it will be less aerodynamic because of the damage to the body. If it is less aerodynamic, it will take more petrol to push it through the air.You will loose traction when any debris is involved such as gravel or rain (especially rain, hyrdroplane non stop and wont be able to turn well and still not come off the road). Also it will start to lose air pressure which will make the trie roll off the rim while truning. And its way thinner as of protection to objects penetrarting the rubber and creating a hole. Deffinately should get new ones when that happens. Performance descreases but safety dissapears.
Why do tires have grooves?
Not all tyres have grooves. Take the "slick" tyre - it does not have grooves. It is used always in racing (as it is illegal to use on most countries roads) and only in dry weather (permitting). "Normal" tyres have grooves, as a channel to expel water from the surface of the tyre. Without these "grooves", driving in the wet would be a hair-raising experience, as the tyre would aquaplane on the water giving the driver, no grip or control. This is also the reason that most countries have a limit on the tread depth, to ensure that the channels are large enough to expel any water away from the surface of the tyre.
Is squelling your tires bad for the tread wear on your car?
Yes. the rubber is being worn away from the tire expeditiously.
Why dont NASCAR tires have tread?
NASCAR tires do not have tread because the cars do not drive on a wet surface. Tread helps channel water away from the surface of the point where the rubber meets the road. Since NASCAR does not race in the rain, a smooth tire gives more surface for the tire for the most traction and speed.
Passenger vehicle tires are to have a minimum tread depth of?
Most US states require a minimum of 2/32 of an inch (approximately 1.6 mm) of tread. If you intend to drive on wet roads 4 mm may be the minimum tread depth needed to stop and steer effectively. Without at least this much tread the tire cannot move water away from the tread fast enough to maintain adequate traction. To drive with less tread is not illegal until you reach the legislated minimums, but it may not be safe.
At what speed can water separate the tires from the road?
I would imagine this would depend on the depth and pattern of the tyre tread a new tyre with a deep tread would be able to go faster before aquaplaning than an old and worn tyre tread which cannot sqeeze the water away as efficiently as a new tyre. As low as 20 mph
The more you take away from me the bigger I get - What am I?
a hole.
What 2 factors affect the gravitational force between 2 objects?
Mass and Distance because if the object is bigger for Example the Earth then it would attract beacause its bigger than the moon. Distance because the farther away it is the less it could, attract like a magnet.
