Tread depth can affect drivability as well. Old thin tread tires tend to feel like they grip the road better than new thicker tread tires. The thicker tread sometimes gives a swishy feel to the ride.
I notice this more on my Mazda Miata. The old radial tires tend to hug the road stiffly, but new ones will feel springy until they wear down a bit. For me, that’s just one of the trade offs of moving to new rubber.
