Your tyres are better at removing water from the tread and preventing aquaplaning if they have a deeper tread. Your tyre will have significantly less traction on a wet road, even if the tread depth is only slightly less than 4 mm. The cause is that your tyres lose touch with the road and the profile is unable to adequately drain water.
Performance tyres are designed to offer superior performance, stability, handling, cornering and vehicle control. Apt for luxury and sports cars, performance tyres boost up the driving experience. It has a low profile sidewall and large tread blocks which augments cornering power.
