[ "Different Types of Tyre Tread Patterns;The automotive manufacturers always insist that you buy a set of goodquality tyres. This is because the tyres perform a special function of keepingyour vehicle in contact with the road. Tyres need to be strong, durable, andrigid, so you can enjoy your rides without the risk of accidents andcollision.The tyre tread pattern affects your vehicle's and tyre's performance toa great extent. The tread depth and tread blocks perform various functions thatare important for keeping your vehicle moving safely and without any glitch.This blog will discuss different tread patterns, and how the tread designaffects performance?Features of tyre treadsSipes: We know what hydroplaning is and how dangerous it can sometimes be.The sipes are designed to channel the water away, so that aquaplaning can be avoided.Sipes are the narrow voids present on the tyre lugs.Tread lugs: This component provides a base to all the other parts of your tread.Its objective is to deliver good traction.Tread groove: Grooves are similar to sipes, but they are deeper and longer. Thegrooves form a specific pattern, specially designed for different roadconditions.Tread voids: The tread voids, like sipes, work to channel away from the water fromthe tyre surface. This helps in maintaining good traction.Tread and Tyre patterns;The tread pattern, as described earlier, affects your tyre's tractionand grip. It is very important to choose the correct pattern.Rib pattern: These are parallel X-shaped voids along the axis.Tyres with this pattern are used on hard road surfaces. Mostly these tyres arefitted on buses and trucks.Pros; Good traction and stability Low rolling resistance; Precise steering control Excellent for high     speedsCons;No adequate grip while accelerating or braking on wet roads.Lug shaped: This tread pattern has a series of grooves perpendicular to the tyre'scircumference. These;Tyres Warwickshire;are designed for dirtand can be used on 4x4 tyres. You can also find them on the rear wheels oftrucks and tyres.Pros; Improved traction while     braking and cornering Outstanding grip;Cons; Very noisy;Block shape:;This pattern has designs ofindependent blocks along with the tread. These blocks are separated byinterconnected grooves. Tyres with a block shape pattern are best for snowyterrains. The pattern is found on most winter;Dunlop Tyres Coventry;forperformance cars.Pros; Excellent steering and     stability on wet roads Good water disposal     propertiesCons These tyres are not durableAsymmetric shape: As the name suggests, asymmetric tyres havedifferent patterns on both the sides of the tyre. Bigger blocks are present onthe outer side and smaller ones on the inner side.Pros Provides excellent cornering     at high speeds; Decreased tread wear on the     outer side;Cons; Can wear easily if not     positioned correctly;Directional pattern:;This pattern has a series oflateral grooves at the same angle on both sides of the tyre. This is one of themost common patterns and is found in many high-speed passenger cars.Pros; Excellent traction and     braking Effectively avoids     Aquaplaning;Cons Can cause issues if not     installed in the correct position" ]
