2mm is considered to be an inadequate tread depth. Very significant 70% increase in stopping distance.


4mm


4mm is considered to be a very low tread depth. Significant 50% increase in stopping distance.


6mm


6mm is considered to be a low tread depth. 20% increase in stopping distance.


Optimum stopping distance on snowy road with 8mm tread depth. 100%
