Low tread levels can sometimes be easy to spot when looking at the tire. Particularly worn treads can even lead to tire slippage in dry conditions! Low tread can reduce tire traction and cause your wheels to slip, especially in wet conditions or when accelerating from a stop. If your tires are slipping, the first thing to check is the tread. Here are a few things to look out for if you feel your tires slipping and how you can help keep them from slipping in the future. But as you take off from that stoplight, you notice there's a new sensation – your tires are slipping!
