Dear Robert,

My father noticed one of my 2019 Nissan Rogue's tires is bald and said that it's dangerous to use. Why is it so bad to drive with the rubber in this condition?

Thanks,
Sarah

If one or more of the tires on your 2019 Nissan Rogueâ€™s becomes bald, you should consider it dangerous to drive. This is especially true when itâ€™s raining.

Bald tires have less grip meaning theyâ€™re more prone to under steer. So if you take a corner too quickly, you could run wide.

Since the rubber has already worn away so much, tires in this condition are far more susceptible to blowouts. This is especially true on long highway trips.

The thread on your rubber kicks out water as it passes over it. For this reason, bald tires are extremely susceptible to hydroplaning. When this happens, you completely lose control of your vehicle: of course, this is dangerous.

You should change your Rogueâ€™s tire as soon as possible and avoid driving in the rain at all costs.

Thanks for your question, Sarah! Please donâ€™t hesitate to contact Kirkland Nissan, Washington if you ever need anything else.
