Because of the technology involv ed in modern tires, especially radial tires, they require more care than those simpler versions we made 25 years ago." Tread designs have evolved to of fer special features for driving on wet or snow-covered roads, carrying heavy loads, driving off-road or in high-performance situations But no amount of testing or research can really protect drivers when they abuse their tires or fail to maintain them properly, Bennett says.
