Car tires are like car shoes. When we buy shoes, we will look at the pattern of the soles. Whether the shoes are non-slip and wear-resistant are related to the pattern of the soles. The same is true for tires.
Now that we are talking about the depth of tire tread, we need to talk about the role of tire tread. The main function of the tread pattern is to increase the friction between the tire and the ground to prevent the car from skidding while driving. In other words, the friction between the tire and the ground is increased, so that the normal performance of the car's performance related to the friction between the tire and the road - power, braking, steering control and driving safety is reliably guaranteed.
The depth of tire tread is closely related to tire performance, and the depth of tire tread chosen for different road conditions has a certain connection.
Pattern depth affects drainage capacity
Pattern depth affects heat dissipation
Effect of tread depth on vehicle stability
The deeper the tread of the tire, the greater the elastic deformation of the tread block at ground contact, and the rolling resistance caused by the elastic hysteresis loss of the tire will also increase. That is to say, when the tire contacts the ground, it will consume part of the force to offset the elastic deformation caused by the tire tread being too deep, which will cause greater resistance to the car, affect the power input and increase fuel consumption. Appropriate tread depth ensures the car's good grip, and the car has better power, braking, steering operability and other key factors.
The depth of the tire tread has a great impact on the driving of the car. Whether the tire tread is too deep or too shallow is not good. However, daily driving should not be taken lightly, especially driving on rainy days. The braking distance of the vehicle will increase on wet roads. The objective rule is that the tread pattern will become smaller and smaller during use. There are tire wear limit warning marks at equal parts of the tire shoulder along the circumference. When the pattern at the mark has been worn away, the tire must be replaced.
1. The deeper the pattern, the higher the fuel consumption.
2. The shallower the pattern, the greater the noise.
3. The deeper the pattern, the better the control
4. The shallower the pattern, the worse the braking
