In the tread there are small 'bars' at the bottom surface about 2-3 mm high, when average tread wear is down to these 'bars' you should get new tires. ...

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. ...

The "tread" is the part of the tire that is supposed to touch the ground. A tire with no tread would be a tire that is not supposed to touch the ground. You may be wondering why tires have a pattern of grooves (a.k.a., voids) in the tread. They're for bad weather. The grooves allow rain, and (if they're wider) mud and snow to squelch out from under the tire so that the tread can come into contact with something solid on...

The old rule of thumb was to insert a penny vertically into a groove in the middle of...
