People's requirements for tires are becoming more and more stringent. They hope that it can increase the friction between the tire and the ground, reduce tire noise and enhance comfort, and also want to dissipate heat and drain water for the tire to improve vehicle handling performance. The design and production of tires need to be considered in all aspects, not only to meet the needs of driving on dry and wet land, but also to meet the needs of driving on stone roads and mud roads.
Block tires are generally used on off-road vehicles. According to different usage conditions, they are mainly divided into three types: road tires, all-terrain tires and mud tires.
HT tires. When off-road vehicles leave the factory, they are usually equipped with neutral road pattern tires for new cars. They are mainly used for road driving. They are characterized by soft sidewalls and fine tread patterns.
The design of all-terrain tires is more compatible than road tires. The pattern design of all-terrain tires is relatively rough, and the spacing of tire teeth is slightly larger than that of road tires. The negative effect of this design is that the road performance decreases and the noise increases, but the durability and adhesion on non-paved roads are stronger than road tires. It is a tire that takes both off-road and road performance into consideration.
Mud-terrain tires are the opposite of road (HT) tires. MT tires have hard walls, exaggerated bead teeth, and significantly larger distances between bead teeth. This makes it easier to drain mud slowly or dump mud at high speed when driving on muddy terrain, and it is easier to increase adhesion on some harsh surfaces, such as uneven rocky surfaces. MT tires make a lot of noise when driving on the road, and you can still feel the vibration of the bead teeth when the speed is less than 10km/h. It is easier to lose control when driving on a paved road in the rain.
