That equation comes into play as soon as you exceed the tread capabilities of a tire (more likely on worn tires). Think of skipping a stone on a pond - there's no tread, but there's a certain speed you must reach before it stones will start skipping (hydroplaning) on the water surface. It's also worth mentioning that the equation is an estimation
