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.
