All of the above.

Explanation
Worn tires have reduced tread depth, which decreases their ability to grip the road surface. With less tread, tires are more prone to hydroplaning. Additionally, worn tires have diminished traction, making turning more challenging, especially on wet roads. Moreover, the reduced tread depth increases stopping distances, as there's less surface area in contact with the road to provide friction and deceleration.
