The tires are responsible for the appropriate traction and grip of your car on the road. So, it is important to keep them in good condition or else you have to face problems while driving on snow, excess heat build-up and risk of hydroplaning. View these slides to know the consequences of bad tires in cars.
2. The tires offer the required
traction between the car and
help the car to move in the
direction of the steering wheel.
3. Many of the driving problems
originate due to the reason of
worn out tires and the treads
in the tire are solely
responsible to determine the
condition of the tires.
4. The treads provide the traction
required to grip the road in
normal as well as the extreme
conditions like snow, rain, and
mud.
5. So, it is also required to
be aware of the
consequences of driving
with bad tires in your car.

7. For a safe drive on snow and
ice, your car needs to have
good pairs of tires with
adequate tread.
8. Thin grooves are cut into the
edges of the treads of the
winter tires to improve the
traction by increasing the
surface area to grip the road.
9. The treads provide the
actual grip and the snipes
just add some extra
resistance on a slippery
surface.

11. While driving your car, there
is a constant friction between
the tires and the road surface
which results in continuous
heat formation.
12. The heat increases as you drive
faster and your tire must have
sufficient tread depth to help
cool the tire by allowing air to
flow in between the grooves.
13. When there is less or zero
treads, the amount of heat can
climb to unsafe levels that may
even cause a blowout.
14.
15. When you apply the brakes,
the car takes a long time to
stop even on a normal road
surface if the tires are out of
condition.
16. The lack of tread and a
reduced amount of friction
between the tire and the
road leads to longer stopping
time.
17. The less effective braking
system is the main reason for
accidents as the worn out tires
do not stop the car in time.

19. Hydroplaning occurs when a
tire encounters more water
than it can scatter and a layer
of water a layer of water gets
between the tire and the road
surface.
20. The new tires have better
grooves designed to channel
out the water beneath the tire
resulting in less or no
instances of hydroplaning.
21. But the cars with worn out
tires have shallower grooves
which are less effective at
directing water away from the
tire and poses a greater risk of
hydroplaning.
