Why can worn tires increase the risk of skidding, especially on wet roads?

Pick an answer

1. Skid risk depends only on speed, never on tire condition
2. Worn tires only increase skid risk on ice, not on a road that's merely wet, an easy mistake to make with roads
3. Shallow tread has less ability to channel water away from the tire's contact with the road
4. Tire wear only affects fuel economy, not traction
