Should the front tire of a motorcycle use straight tread or patterned tread?
1 Answers
Mountainous road surfaces are suitable for front tires with patterned tread; high-speed and urban roads are suitable for front tires with straight tread. Patterned Tires: The tread pattern, also known as the tire tread pattern, is the raised part molded or engraved on the outer surface of the tire. Its main function is to improve the driving performance of the tire while also enhancing aesthetics. The pattern provides good anti-slip performance, ensuring safe driving on snow, ice, and muddy roads. Straight Tread Tires: Straight tread can be used for trailer wheel positions or steering wheel positions. Generally, the tread depth is relatively shallow, which can appropriately reduce tire price and cost. The grip is slightly weaker, but it provides better steering force when turning, especially for high-speed, standard-load vehicles. This is crucial as it affects both tire cost and fuel consumption.
