How Tire Tread Plays a Major Part in Keeping Your Vehicle on the Road

Nov 27, 2017

When driving on wet roads, one of the most dangerous times is during the first 10 minutes of rain. This is when all the oils on the road begin to rise to the top of the water. Having good tire tread will increase your safety on wet roads during this time.

How Your Tires Keep Traction On Wet Roads

Your tires work to keep traction on the road by channeling water from underneath the tire and away from your vehicle. Without sufficient tire tread, the water that normally is channeled away becomes trapped. When this happens, a slippery layer builds up between the road and your vehicle’s tires.

Let Us Make Sure You’re Ready to Roll

Good tire tread will decrease your chances of hydroplaning on the road. Stop by and visit Sexton Ford today and let one of our trained professionals make sure that your tire tread is ready to roll.
