Where is the tire tread pattern model written?
1 Answers
Tire tread pattern models are written on the sidewall of the tire. Generally speaking, the tread pattern refers to the various longitudinal, transverse, and diagonal grooves on the tire's tread surface. There are three basic types of tire tread patterns: longitudinal, transverse, and mixed. Longitudinal patterns have strong drainage capabilities and help dissipate heat from the tire, but they lack sufficient grip. Transverse patterns have high lateral stiffness, providing strong grip, but their drainage and directional performance are poor. Mixed patterns combine the advantages of both longitudinal and transverse patterns, offering good grip and drainage performance, making them suitable for both dry and wet road conditions with fewer usage restrictions. The design functions of tire tread patterns include the following aspects: 1. Enhancing the vehicle's braking force, driving force, and traction, improving handling and stability; 2. Increasing the friction between the tire and the ground, preventing skidding and side slipping during braking; 3. Dissipating heat from the tire.
