Smooth tyres have less frictional grip on the road surface, and will slide further that a deep tread tyre.

When driving fifty miles per hours how far will it take you to stop?
On dry, level pavement, with decent tires? About 120 feet. Many things affect this calculation. With worn tires the distance can increase to 210 feet. Dirt roads require longer braking distances than pavement. Ice can increase the braking distance by hundreds of feet. Braking down a hill, depending upon the slope, can double the braking distance, whereas braking up hill can halve that distance. If you lock the tires, you typically increase the braking distance. You can reduce the distance by pumping the brakes. Anti-lock brakes allow the tires to slip, which decreases the braking distance. Extra weight in the vehicle increases the braking distance. Refer to the link below for calculating the braking distance at different speeds with different tire wear on dry, level pavement.
What happens to the stopping distance of cars as tires get old and worn?
The distance needs to be further apart from the car in front
Grinding when braking?
Worn out brakes.
Why does your 2002 Chevy Impala shake when braking after you had a tire rotation and alignment when it did not do so before this service?

What would cause my tires to get worn out while my car is lowered?
Too much camber and the tires aren't aligned right so the tires get worn easily
Why do they change the tires in a race?
Tires are changed during an auto race because the tires get worn down by the track. It is safer to have good tires than to have tires that are worn down that could blow apart and cause accidents.
How are worn tires recycled?
they are rethreaded
Factors affecting braking distance?
There are many things that affect the braking distance. They are: a. Weight of the Car b. Efficiency of the Brakes c. Brake heat level d. Tyre heat level e. Tyre Pressure and f. Road conditions (Rain/Dry/Intermediate)
Have 1994 Nissan Quest that after replacing both front tires spin balanced ty-rods checked still vibrates low and high speeds but after driving awhile Also vibrates when braking at high speed downhill?
This is my question Turns out it was a badly worn right axle Vibrating while braking is a warped rotor.
What does on two flat tires mean?
worn out
