Driving in Wet Summer Conditions: The Impact of Worn Tires on Stopping Distance
- Tire tread depth reduction decreases grip on wet roads, increasing stopping distances and the risk of losing control.
- The Federal Highway Administration reports that 77% of weather-related crashes occur on roads with light rain.
- Worn tires with about 4/32-inch tread depth increase stopping distance by 30-45%, adding 44-67 feet to stop an average car.
- In moderate to heavy rain, worn tires require over 140 extra feet to stop, nearly half a football field in length.
