Ciudad del Este is located on the eastern side of Paraguay, right on the border with Brazil and Argentina, and itâs one of the smallest cities in the country. Ciudad del Este is a popular spot to visit if youâre looking to buy cheap electronics and other goods cheaply, as the town boasts a tax-free market.
Here in the U.S., tire tread is measured in 32nds of an inch. A brand-new tire has a tread depth around 10/32nds of an inch (approximately 1/3 of an inch). Some tires, like winter tires or off-road tires, may have a deeper tread. As you drive on the tires, the tread gradually wears down.
Therefore the vehicle's stopping distance increases. Although the legal minimum tread depth is only 1.6mm, independent research at MIRA shows that tyres with 3mm of tread have an average 25% better performance than those at 1.6mm-which represents an extra 8 metres stopping distance in wet conditions.
