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.

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
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.
What happens when your tires go bald?
ANSWER: Then, it's time to stop off at a automotive shop and buy new tires. ANSWER: A tire on which the tread is all worn away. A Slick also has no tread, but this is done deliberately for racing purposes. http://www.motorera.com/dictionary/BA.HTM#BaldTire
Why is having a tread on tyres important in the wet?
Tread on tires is crucial in wet conditions because it helps channel water away from the contact surface, reducing the risk of hydroplaning. The grooves in the tread design create channels that allow water to escape, ensuring better grip and traction on slippery roads. Adequate tread depth also enhances braking performance and stability, which are vital for safe driving in rain. Without sufficient tread, vehicles can lose control, increasing the likelihood of accidents.
Why friction cause tread on tire wear down?
Friction between the tire and the road surface generates heat and causes wear on the tire tread. As tires grip the road during acceleration, braking, and turning, the rubber compounds in the tread gradually wear away. The constant contact and movement lead to the loss of material over time, resulting in reduced tread depth and performance. This wear can be exacerbated by factors such as driving habits, road conditions, and tire maintenance.
When driving in heavy rain or on a flooded road your tires can ride on a thin film of water like skis?
This is called hydroplaning, where your tires lose contact with the road surface and ride on top of the water instead. It can lead to loss of control and increased stopping distances. To prevent hydroplaning, drive at a slower speed and ensure your tires have sufficient tread depth to channel water away.
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.
How do I know if my car needs new tires?
You could stick a lincoln penny in the tread. Having lincoln's head facing away from you, if it doesnt cover any of the top of the head it's time for new tires
When back wheels slide on an car?
The most likely reason for this is that your tires are worn out. Allways put the best (freshest, best tire tread) back. Doesnt matter if your car is a front wheel or rear wheel drive. Or dont give full throttle when driving away. ;)
When do you replace tires?
you should replace your tires when the tread falls under 6mm, if you have a slit anywhere in the tire or any type of hole/slit in the sidewall, if a visible heatring exists, or if the shoulder(s) of a tire has worn away.
What are tire wear bars?
When tires are made, the tread pattern has grooves in them. There are parts of the grooves that are not as deep as others. When the tire has worn down to that level, the tread has worn away to the point where they are no longer safe to drive on. The bars are clearly visible going across the tire.
