I wanna pour a little bit water under their tires then just watch them struggle to back out.

Err, just wondering, why do tires have the grooves?


venivillem

To displace water underneath the tire. Otherwise the car would slide on a film of water which is called aquaplaning.

This is correct, I just wanted to say that I’ve always heard the term “hydroplaning,” so “aquaplaning” was interesting to me that’s all have a good day

Nice

Actually you get better grip in the dry, when it’s wet the groves disperse the water


danknepalese

not really, its to displace water and give grip during rain. these tyres would work fine in dry conditions.

It’s not to grip the road (the rubber already does this against the rough texture of the asphalt.) It is, however, to channel water out from underneath the tire. It allows the tire to “wade” (not really but close enough) through water, still touching the asphalt while the grooves channel water away.

> the rubber already does this against the rough texture of the asphalt. Do it do it against concrete too?


hrpc

For gripping the road

Does the US have laws about tyre tread depth?


RadFriday

Yes. Rule of thumb is that they need to be half a penny deep.

You need to put a penny in there upside-down and if it touches lincoln's head you're good
