How to Identify Michelin Tire Tread Patterns?

[LeJohn]

Michelin tire tread patterns are not related to tire models, so you cannot determine the model by looking at the tread. The differences in Michelin tire tread patterns lie in the terrain they are designed for, resulting in a variety of tread patterns. Car owners can choose the appropriate tread pattern based on their daily driving conditions. Relevant information is as follows: 1. Asymmetric tread: This means the left and right sides have different tread structures. Due to the different tread structures on each side, the design typically focuses more on increasing the ground pressure of the outer tread during turns. This is why asymmetric tires perform relatively better in certain cornering situations. 2. Unidirectional tread: The tread grooves on these tires are interconnected, providing strong road performance and excellent water drainage. These tires have a fixed rolling direction, meaning they can only roll in one direction. The advantage is that the rolling resistance is relatively lower, and vehicle handling is improved. 3. Block tread: Commonly used on off-road vehicles, these are generally divided into three main types based on usage conditions: highway tires, all-terrain tires, and mud tires.
