What are the differences between tire tread patterns?
1 Answers
The differences between tire tread patterns are as follows: 1. Longitudinal tread pattern: The tread surface is continuously connected in the longitudinal direction but disconnected in the transverse direction. The tread exhibits high longitudinal stiffness but low transverse stiffness, resulting in stronger anti-slip performance in the transverse direction than in the longitudinal direction. 2. Transverse tread pattern: The tread surface is continuously connected in the transverse direction but disconnected in the longitudinal direction. The tread exhibits high transverse stiffness but low longitudinal stiffness. Function: Increases the friction between the tread and the road surface to prevent wheel slippage. Tire tread patterns enhance the tread's ground contact elasticity. Under the action of tangential forces between the tread and the road surface, the tread blocks can generate significant tangential elastic deformation.
