Correct answer
Reduce grip and worsen braking
It can reduce grip and worsen braking and control, particularly with water. Check condition, tread and pressure according to manufacturer guidance and load; apparently sound tyres do not guarantee preventing every skid. Do not keep driving with a dangerous defect until resolved. Wear does not improve wet-weather safety.
