"Know everything about the tyre tread: Its pattern, construction"
"Dunlop Tyres Coventry, Tyres Warwickshire"
[ "Tyres are one of the most significant parts of your car. A sharp and conscious driver would never undermine the value that tyres contribute to the proper functioning of the car. Thats because these are the only parts of the car that are perennially in direct contiguity with the road.In fact, they have to put up with a lot of harshness on the roads. The bumpy rides at times, work as a catalyst for the wear and tear of the tyres. Consequently, it becomes incredibly important for a car owner to choose his;Dunlop tyres Coventry;carefully and also be aware of its tread patterns to derive optimum benefits from his tyresWhats a tyre tread?The tread refers to the rubber part of the tyre which makes contact with the road. The pattern or the design one sees on it, is actually the tread patternUnderstanding it in detailThe tread of the tyres has various features attached to it. Get to know them here -Lugs;- the main function of the lugs is to provide good traction on the roads. This is one of the most vital elements of a tread.Sipes;- the tapered passageways and the voids on the tyre lugs are called the sipes. They measure between 0.3  1.5mm. Their main area of work lies on wet and snowy surfaces. This also improves the traction like lugs, whilst chasing away water from beneath the;tyres WarwickshireTread grooves; while sipes are narrow, grooves are deeper and longer. These are in a particular pattern, with shapes and sizes. They help in improving the steerability and braking effectiveness of the tyre. Due to their deep design, they help in reducing the rolling noise level also produced by the tyre.Tread rib;- these are the contact bars that one can see around the tyre.Dimples;- these are generally included by the manufacturer by choice. If present, these help in cooling down the tyres.Tread Voids;- these function on similar lines as sipes. Voids also help in keeping the water at bay. The only difference is, the voids are wider along the axis, so these provide even better tractionUnderstanding the tyre patternsNow that you have an idea about the tread features, here are the different patterns employed in various tread patterns -Rib pattern;- as the name says, these are S-shaped voids that go parallel along the axis. This pattern helps in providing stability to the vehicle on turns and helps in maintaining high speed. This pattern also works best on hard, concrete surfaces.Lug shape;- these are the grooves in series which are at a right angle to the circumference of a tyre. Such tyres are constructed for dirt roads. So, you can often spot them on the rear wheels of trucks and buses.Asymmetric shape; this type of pattern obviously isnt in sync with each other on each side of the tyre. Thats why this pattern is very common on;Dunlop tyres Coventry;of commercial vehicles. The inner blocks are smaller, while the outer blocks are bigger. The grooves on the tyre help in dispersing the water. They provide stability to the vehicle when cornering at high speed. The wear and tear on the outside of the tyres also remains in control.Block shape;- this type of design has independent blocks on the tread, which have a series of grooves woven together. This provides good stability on wet and snow-clad surfaces. The water dispersal also gets easier with numerous grooves on the tread.Directional pattern;- this is again a very common design found on the tyres. The grooves are lined at the same angle on either side of the tyre. You can see this pattern on high-speed passenger vehicles. Like other designs and patterns, this also improves the barking and traction considerably and provides strong resistance to aquaplaningYou can see, how meticulously the engineers have to work in designing each type of tyre for your vehicle. All the patterns and designs almost serve the same purpose of providing you with the best of experience while driving. So be an informed buyer and choose your;tyres Warwickshire;diligently." ]
