How do the grooves on the tires help a car in braking?

They help to displace water to keep your car from Aquaplaning. To get the most friction and therefore the best braking effect, the more area in contact with the road, the better. On a dry road, slick tyres would be best. But if you tried this in the rain you would Aquaplane, when the water would form a barrier beween the tyre and the road and give no grip. So the grooves are only of use on wet roads. It is a legal requirement to have at leasy 1.6mm of tread groove, on tyres in the UK.


Why does a car move away more easily on dry road than wet?

a car itself is pretty heavy, all the weigt of it is equally divided by the four wheels. A tire of a car has carves in it to make it have more grip on the road. The cars' weigt and the grip it has on the road combined is what a car keeps from slipping on a dry road when the road is wet it has less grip on the road but still the same weigt. so when your driving the kinetic energy caused by the speed of the car and the weigt can cause the car to slip. i hope this is a good answer for you but i know i have made alot of writing errors.
