Why do cars that go off- road have cleeper grooves cut into their tires than road cars?

When it rains, cars sometimes hydroplane because the water underneath the tires supports the weight of the car and causes it to loose traction. Grooves give another channel for water to escape. As for off-road cars, the tire grooves are not much deeper rather they are larger and have more room to go up and down. In my Jeep Wrangler, the tire grooves are the same depth as an Acura TL and a Honda minivan. Maybe on other off-road cars they help the car travel through gravel, rock, sand, and snow to gain more traction.


What are the differences between off road tires and regular tires?

The differences are the size and the purpose. Regular tires are made to grip the asphalt, and also fitted with grooves to push water away, keeping it from hydroplaning. The off road tires are thicker, and the grooves are much deeper, giving it the ability to have good traction in the dirt and rocks.

Why is it difficult to drive a car with worn out tires?

Tires need the grooves to be able to get a grip when weather is not the best. They provide a place for water, ice and snow to go and allow the rubber tread to make contact with the road. Racing cars often use tires with no grooves at all, but the weather has to be dry and the pavement clean. On a passenger car, even a little water can cause hydroplaning, where the tire is on water rather than the pavement.
