[ "Driving with worn-out tyres can be dangerousEvery one of us knows driving on worn-out tyres will be hazardous. It not only affects the driver, but also the passengers. Usually, wet and slippery roads only will be problems for accidents whereas the worn-out tyres might cause fatal accidents even on well-maintained and dry roads. A study has been conducted and reported that about 26.2% of auto crashes happened due to worn-out tyres. So, driving on worn tires is a hazard to our safetyAre worn-out tyres dangerous?Worn-out tyres are one of the major causes of fatal accidents, especially in a single-vehicle. What causes make tyres very dangerous?Enhanced risk of hydroplaning:The formation of hydroplaning is such that a water layer forms between the road surface and the tyre. When you consider tread patterns in modern tyres like Michelin Tyres Kidderminster, they contain grooves that direct water free from the tyre, making the tyre to form a firm grip on the road in the wet. As the tread starts wearing over a while, the grooves turn shallower, making the grooves less efficient in directing water away from the tyre. The shallow grooves create a high risk of hydroplaningAir pressure loss:In worn-out tyres Kidderminster, the air loses at a faster rate than the tyres with good tread depth. Though you are checking the pressure of tyre regularly, low-treaded worn-out tyres cannot sustain air as you dream. Once your worn-out tyres turn under-inflated, it is dreadful to drive with them. Even in dry road conditions, you cannot expect grip on the road that would make you difficult to steer. When you put a sudden brake, it might even cause the car to skid. Under-inflated tyres are also being the cause for quicker wear-out in the remaining tread. This condition immediately requires tyres replacementExcessive heat buildupFriction is normally created during driving and it occurs between the road surface and tyres. At high speeds, excessive heat will be produced that might cause a blowout. It makes you lose your control over your car. Generally, tyres are made to withstand heat at high levels. However, once the surface temperature touches a certain limit, the tyres turn unsafe. The tyre is cooled with the help of treads and they allow airflow in between the grooves. But, worn-out tyres do not have grooves, so there are lots of chances for heat buildup.Driving in snowSmall slits or sipes and deep grooves support new tyres and winter tyres to go into the snow. Worn-out sipes and a shallower tread leads to decreased road-gripping which makes the vehicle impossible to speed up, stop or corner on snowy roads safely. In the winter tyres, the wear bars may not show when they are called as legally worn-out. When their snow traction is diminished, it is time to consider a new set of tyresThe following conditions are counted as a worn-out tyreSidewall cracks: Tyre sidewalls turn dry after a ride of long miles. This leads to cuts or cracks. Tiny cracks are more common on worn tires and large cracks should be attended. If you spot any large crack, meet your tyre shop professional for an evaluation.Not enough tread depth:Instead of measuring with the eye, use a tyre tread gauge. Another way for tread depth evaluation is to put in a penny into the tread with the head side facing you. If you can see the entire head side it means your tread level is very low and it is your time to go for new tyres" ]
