The tread is the rubber part of a tire that touches the ground. It helps the car grip the road. If the tread comes off, it can make the car hard to control.

Technical Definition

The tread is the part of a tire that makes contact with the road. It is designed to provide traction and grip, and its condition is crucial for safe driving. If the tread detaches, it can lead to loss of control while driving.
