A worn tire reduces friction and tracktion, this could be dangerous in bad weather conditions.,
A2
A worn tyre would actually improve friction in dry conditions, because the surface area touching the road, will be greater without tread.
This why racing cars use 'slicks' in dry conditions.
The problems arise in wet weather. The thinnest film of water between the tyre and the road, will cause a sudden decrease in friction, 'aquaplaning'.
The tread is there purely for wet conditions.

How does a car tire get worn away by friction?
The heat from the friction of the tire rolling at a high speed on the street causes the rubber to slowly burn up.
Effect of friction on the motion of a vehicle in the context of tire surface?
Friction between the tires of a vehicle and the road surface is essential for traction and control. Adequate friction allows the tires to grip the road, enabling the vehicle to accelerate, brake, and turn effectively. Insufficient friction can lead to loss of control, sliding, and reduced maneuverability.
What would cause a grinding noise after a tire is replaced?
What would cause a grinding noise after a tire is replaced and the brakes are not worn?
When the road on a tire has worn out so that the tire is bald the tire will have high or low friction on a dry road?
The tire has almost no traction and can blow out at any time. It will also hydroplane in very little water. A tire should be replaced when there is 2/32 tread left. A bald tire is an accident waiting to happen.
Does friction increase or decrease when tires are worn out?
Friction typically decreases when tires are worn out because the treads become shallower and less able to grip the road surface effectively. This reduction in friction can lead to decreased traction and poorer overall performance.
What are the different tire wear?
if it is worn down the middle it means the tire has to much air in it. if the two sides of the tire worn there is to little air. if it is worn at one side of the tire the tracking is out
Why would the steering wheel wobble on 2009 Subaru impreza?
Tire out of balance, defective tire, bent wheel, loose wheel, worn steering parts, worn or loose wheel bearing, worn suspension parts.
Why does your steering wheel shake?
Your automobile may have a tire out of balance or a worn part in the front end causing this "shimmy" effect .

Would a worn tire make a noise?
No, I've had many and if anything they are quieter.
Where would the tread of a tire be worn out if the tire were under-inflated?
Underinflated tires wear faster on the sides than the middle.
What would cause your vehicle to start shaking making it hard to control?
Any of the following, worn tie rods, worn ball joints, loose wheel, damaged wheel, out of balance tire, damaged tire, worn out/broken spring, worn out/broken shock absorber, or worn out/broken strut.
