VIDEO: Tyre Test - How important is the type of tyre tread you use?

The type of tread you choose to use on your vehicle is just as important as the make and rating. We visited a demonstration of just how much tread pattern can affect the handling and braking on your car.

It comes as no surprise that the tyres on your car are often sorely overlooked but are essential to the safety of your vehicle. With the tyre tread being the only contact your car has with the road it is imperative that you get the right read for your driving activities and habits.
