Tread has grooves present on it.Depending upon the type of tyre the depth and number of grooves varyWhy tread depth is important?When a vehicle is in motion, friction is occurring between thetread and the surface. Tyres wear out because of this friction and tread depthdecreases. If tread depth is too shallow, traction will be less and brakingwill be less efficient. Grooves present in tread get shallower with a decreasein tread depth. Shallow grooves cannot resist hydroplaning efficiently. Wintertyres lose their grip over snow if the grooves are not deep enough.
