Can Ground Tread Tires Be Used?
1 Answers
Ground tread tires are tires with removed barcodes. They should not be used for frequent highway driving. Other vehicles can use ground tread tires. Ground tread tires refer to tires where the white barcode located at the tire toe area has been ground off. Detailed information about ground tread tires is as follows: 1. Ground tread tires are defective tires: Tires with ground-off barcodes are not genuine products, and manufacturers will not take responsibility for any issues. Additionally, these tires are non-warranty products, being substandard items identified during factory inspections. Ground tread tires with minor defects can still be used. 2. Ground tread tires are cheaper but may have dynamic balance issues: Dynamic balance problems in ground tread tires can be corrected through balancing procedures. While dynamic imbalance won't cause tire blowouts, it can lead to side-to-side wobbling. They can be used normally at lower speeds and without heavy loads. 3. When purchasing ground tread tires, it's best to choose reputable brands: Most ground tread tires from major brands only have dynamic balance issues. Many generic brand ground tread tires may have numerous problems, such as uneven rubber content, radial issues, tire peeling, or small holes in the tires.
