Tire Tread Depth Comparison on wet roads
DRIVING MODULE
Get to know the difference in braking distances between worn out tires, used tires and new tires.
Technoloy
- Brake Test / Objective comparison of three tread depth versions
Three vehicles equipped with
1. New Continental PremiumContatc 6 tires with 8mm tread depth
2. Used Continental PremiumContact 6 tires with 3mm tread depth
3. Worn out Continental PremiumContact 6 tires with 1,6 mm tread depth
Media Experience
- You will drive identical vehicles (Golf 7 GTI) with different tread depths and do a full brake on a wet track
- While you drive and brake all data will be measured and explained to you by one of our tire engineers
- Tread depth on wet roads is key for safety and often understimated
Benefits for the driver / society
- Tread depth is a key factor for your safety
- Always control you tire tread depth from time to time
- Aquaplaning with worn out tires = no vehicle control
