How to distinguish tire tread patterns?
1 Answers
Tire tread patterns are unrelated to tire models, and you cannot determine the model by looking at the tread patterns. Below are the types of tire tread patterns: 1. Longitudinal tread patterns: These are arranged circumferentially around the tire. A tire usually has several, but they are not commonly seen in daily use; 2. Lateral tread patterns: These are longitudinally discontinuous but laterally continuous. This design provides the tire with greater lateral stiffness and good friction and braking effects. Tires with this pattern are widely used in specialized fields, such as agricultural machinery like harvesters and tractors; 3. Block tread patterns: Block tread tires are widely used in off-road vehicles. They are divided into three types: highway tires, all-terrain tires, and mud tires.
