Correct answer
Yes
Poorly maintained tyres on our vehicle may negatively affect the vehicle's braking distance because, as they have less grip on the road surface, the vehicle will take longer to stop and the braking distance will therefore be greater. We must remember that the braking distance will not always be the same, but will vary according to different circumstances such as the condition of the tyres, the brakes or the road surface.
