I believe you mean "Why are wet roads more dangerous than dry roads to cars?"

The answer is relatively simple. Safe roads have a good amount of friction in order to let the car steer safely. On a wet road, much of the friction is reduced, not only hindering steering, but rendering brakes ineffective.

Why is breaking more difficult on wet roads than dry?

Breaking on wet roads is more difficult than on dry roads because water reduces the friction between the tires and the road surface. This decrease in friction makes it harder for the tires to grip the road, resulting in longer stopping distances and increased risk of skidding. Additionally, water can mix with oil and other fluids on the road, further reducing traction.

Why are bald tires dangerous?

Bald tires are not particularly dangerous when the road is dry. In fact, slicks (treadless tires) are used in racing because they provide greater contact with the dry road. The danger comes from hydroplaning on wet roads. Without tread grooves to channel water out from between the rubber and the road the tire has no traction and your car spins out of control.

Why do Icy roads have less friction then dry roads?

Icy roads have less friction than dry roads because ice is a smooth and slippery surface, making it difficult for tires to gain traction. The lack of friction between the tires and the icy surface reduces the ability of the vehicle to brake, accelerate, and turn effectively, leading to increased risk of accidents. Dry roads, on the other hand, provide better traction for tires due to the rougher surface, allowing for better control and maneuverability.
