[ "TYRE TREAD PATTERNS, CONSTRUCTION AND TYPES;The only reason why your tyres are capable ofmaintaining firm contact with the roads is because of the treads. The treadscome in different patterns. They all have different functions and capabilities.Treads of the tyres are the rubber part on the tyres circumference. Treadpatterns help in deciding how they perform on various road conditions. With somany tread patterns and constructions, it becomes confusing for buyers tounderstand what could work well for them and what wouldnt. Before going into thepatterns, it is beneficial to know about the main features of the treadsA. WHAT ARE THE TREAD FEATURES?Grooves are basically channels that are long anddeep. They run circumferentially (it relates to the circumference) across thetyres and in between the tread ribsTread ribs are sections on which tread blocks are situated. Tread blocks are made of rubber that keep contact with the road.Sipes are made to provide biting edges that help in improving traction, especially while driving on snowy surfaces. Dimples are usually not present in every tyre, but they are known for cooling of tyres.Tread voids are built to channel the water out from the tyres like in Tyres Blakedown.Still, the tread patterns may differ and it is up to you what feels right for your usage.B. WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TREAD PATTERNS?;Asymmetrical tread patternsThese type of tread patterns are designed differently from outside and inside. They are constructed with different tread blocks and channels. The outer part consists of bigger blocks whereas the inner parts have smaller ones. Normally, the heavier or bigger blocks provide better stability and handling. The smaller parts are meant to channel the water away to give good traction on the rainy roads. The greatest advantage of having asymmetric tread patterns is they give good stability while turning. The disadvantage is that they have a shorter life and are very expensive.Symmetrical tread patterns;The symmetrical type of patterns, both the outer and inner sides are the same. These tyres are also referred to as multi-directional tyres as they can be driven towards any direction. The advantage is that it prolongs the life of tyres as experienced in TyresBlakedown. But it does not last well on wet areas because of which it cannot be counted under high-performance tyres.Directional tread patternsDirectional tread patterns are designed to workin only one direction. They have arrow-patterned tread design. They work reallywell at wet and snowy surfaces. They protect the car from aquaplaning. They aregood at maintaining grip at high speeds. The disadvantage here is that theyhave louder rolling noiseBlock-shaped tread patternsThe block-shaped tread patterns are independent blocks found on the treads separated by grooves. They offer better stability and steering on wet and snowy surfaces. They are not much durable. They have a lot of grooves which help in dispersing water.Lug-shaped patternsThe lug-shaped tread patterns are perpendicular to the circumference of the tyres. They have commendable braking power and give good traction. But they too make loud noises when driven at higher speeds. They are used in industrial vehicles and dirt roads.Rib-shaped patterns;Rib-shaped patterns have many circumferential groves. They have great directional stability. The steering control is good due to the lateral resistance. They are for paved road surfacesNote down that Tyres Blakedown have excellent durability and tread patterns." ]
