Stopping Distance – What You Need to Know about Worn Tires

Toyota tested the effect worn tires have on stopping distance* when traveling 60 miles per hour on a wet road. Three sets of tires were used with three different tread depths:
  • 10/32”
  • 4/32”
  • 2/32”
For each test, the same professional driver was used. He accelerated to 60 mph and then tried to stop. It took him approximately 8 additional car lengths to stop with 4/32” tread depth, and nearly 10 additional car lengths to stop with 2/32” of tread depth! Don’t let your tread depth be the difference between a close call and an accident! Get your tires inspected at Markquart Toyota near Eau Claire.
