How does the tread make wet-weather driving safe?
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.
