What are the effects of having different tire tread patterns?
1 Answers
Having different tire tread patterns on a car can lead to varying levels of grip, causing the vehicle to pull to one side while driving. Different tread patterns directly influence the performance of the tires. The central tread blocks and the ribbed sections on both sides form the primary contact area with the road, designed to firmly grip the surface. Below is an introduction to tire replacement: 1. Tread Depth: As the tread wears down and the depth decreases, the vehicle's braking distance will be affected. Therefore, for safety reasons, it is advisable to consider replacing tires in advance. Generally, when the tread thickness is about 8 millimeters, replacement should be considered once it wears down to 1.6 millimeters. 2. Tire Grooves: Inspect the grooves on the tread and sidewalls. If cracks appear, it indicates severe aging of the tire, and the remaining mileage it can cover will not be long. In such cases, replacement should be considered as soon as possible.
