The tread grooves evacuate the water away from the tire's road contact area by ensuring a fluid flow passage with the circumferential and lateral grooves in the tread. Due to this, the tire maintains its constant road contact. As there is continuous contact between the road and the tire, it does not lose its wet traction which, during braking, allows the tire to grip the road and create the necessary friction for stopping. The model's wet braking distance is shorter and safer.
