[ "The tread design of Continental winter and summer tyresThe tread patterns are an essential part of the tyre which comes in contact with the surface of the road. If one takes a look at several types of the tyre in the market it may be noticed there is a variety of patterns in tread available. Now a question arises what makes them different? The tread patterns are different because they offer a unique design which handles the grip and handling of the vehicle in the specific condition of driving. One can easily identify the make of a tyre by the tracks left by it on the road. There are four constituents parts of every tyre treadGrooves: these are channels that are running deep laterally and circumferentially around the tyre.Sipes: these are tiny slots that are moulded in the tread blocks.Ribs: These are made up of tread blocks and can be identified as a raised section of the tread pattern.Tread blocks: these can be identified as rubber segments that are raised. These are responsible for making contact with the surface of the road.There are three types of patterns in the tread in which the tyre are availableSymmetrical pattern: this is the most common type of Continental Tyres Barnet tread pattern. This tyre tread pattern can be easily seen from the tyre of the passenger car.Directional Tyre tread pattern: a tyre having a directional tread pattern rolls only in one direction. It comprises lateral grooves that meet in the middle.Asymmetric tyre tread pattern: it comprises two distinct tread designs. One is present on the inner half while the other is present on the outer half.Continental Tyres offers a wide variety of tyres to the consumers based on the requirement of vehicle and weather conditions. Each Continental tyre comprises distinct rubber compound and tread patterns. To gain a better insight lets take a look at Summer tyre and Winter tyresSummer tyres: Summer tyres offered by Continental Tyres are made up of a specific rubber compound that offers exceptional handling and grip in both wet and dry conditions. The rolling resistance of the car is also greatly reduced along with the noise of the road. These tyres improve the fuel efficiency of the vehicle. The tread pattern of summer Tyres Barnet is more streamlined in comparison to the winter tyres. There are lesser grooves in summer tyres for clearance of water. The tread blocks maximize the contact with the road surfaceThus superior traction is offered during the summer months. It is because of these tread designs and rubber compounds the summer tyres are not suitable for any other climatic condition.Winter tyres: On surfaces covered with ice and snow, an excellent grip is offered by the winter tyres on road. In winter tyres the tread compound comprises more natural rubber. It is done so that if the temperature drops below 7 degrees Celsius the rubber does not harden and stay flexible. It also helps in reducing the stopping distance when brakes are applied. The tread designs of the winter tyres comprise of deeper blocks which dig into the snow for an enhanced grip on the road. A winter tyre also has a lot of sipes for clearing the water and reducing the risk of aquaplaning." ]
