What brand is regroovable for tires?
2 Answers
regroovable is not a tire brand; it represents the tire load index, which is a numerical code indicating the maximum load a tire can bear when driving at the speed specified by the speed symbol under standard usage conditions. Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on various vehicles or machinery to roll on the ground. Typically installed on metal rims, tires support the vehicle body, absorb external shocks, ensure contact with the road surface, and maintain driving performance. Tires often operate under complex and demanding conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, forces, and temperature extremes during use. Therefore, they must possess high load-bearing capacity, traction performance, and cushioning properties.
I've been driving trucks for over a decade, and the most common regroovable tires I see on the road are from Bridgestone and Michelin. 'Regroovable' isn't a brand name—it refers to tires with extra-thick rubber layers on the shoulders that can be re-grooved after being worn flat. Long-haul drivers love these tires, and major brands like Goodyear, Dunlop, and Continental all have this series, which are especially suitable for trailers and trucks, with small square markings on the tread. When choosing, make sure to check the ply rating—tires with 14 or more plies are more wear-resistant and durable, saving you a lot on replacement costs.
