How does braking distance depend on your tires?

 

 

Did you know that the choice and condition of your tires directly affects your braking distance? Quality and well-maintained tires can make the difference between stopping safely and skidding in emergency situations.

On wet or snowy roads, your braking distance can be up to 30% shorter when using new, good tires. For example, if your car stops completely within 50 meters with new tires, with worn tires, the stopping distance can be extended by up to 65 meters. This huge difference can have serious consequences in the event of an emergency stop.

For this reason, it is essential to check the condition of your tires and make sure they are suitable for winter conditions. Choose safety above all else, because when it comes to life and health, every meter counts.
