Correct answer
- ADisminuye la adherencia.Grip is reduced.
Explanation
When the tyre tread disappears, grip is reduced. The tread's job is to clear away the water on the road surface. Without enough tread, the tyre cannot clear water efficiently, which leads to loss of contact with the road surface and less grip. This can make the vehicle slide and be harder to control.
