Here's the Difference
Stopping distances increase with speed and tyre condition makes a significant difference, especially in wet conditions.
A vehicle on worn tyres can take around 10–15 metres longer to stop in wet conditions compared to tyres in good condition.

the bigger the difference becomes

Tyre tread helps clear water and maintain grip with the road.
As tyres wear down, their ability to do this reduces, increasing stopping distances and the risk of losing control particularly in wet conditions.
Millimetres Matter
Check your tyres regularly to stay safe on the road.
