Tire Threads And Their Meaning. by blessedjohny4u: 7:56pm On Jul 29, 2016
Tire,s are certainly the first line of defence against any form of misharp while on the road , therefore its safe to say that having fit and good tires on your car gives you certain measure of security while on the roads but then what makes a car tire appear fit and good for
the roads, perhaps its physical conditions, which includes good air pressure , clearly visible tire treads and an overall ideal physical state generally
Speaking of the tire treads , do you realize that these tire treads actually represents something the tire treads were not just inscribed for decoration but rather have their specific functions and specifications for different types of cars and road conditions , there are about four kinds of tire treads which you see on tires fitted on vehicles that ply the roads on daily basis namely , the Symmetrical Treading, Directional Treading and Unidirectional Treading, lets shed more light on these tire treading and their appropriate road conditions.

1. SYMMETRICAL TREADING

Image result for SYMMETRICAL TIRE TREADING

Symmetrical treading are basically found in tires designed for non performance vehicles , this pattern involves a seemingly continuous groove or independent pattern that stretches through out the surface of the tire.
Tires with the symmetrical tread patterns are most ideal for passenger vehicles due to their rather quite and lasting nature which makes them a fit for an everyday car , coupled with their ability to be rotated across different directions.

2. ASYMMETRICAL


Tires with asymmetrical treading are ideally found in sports cars these sort of tires are specifically built for maximiun grip either on wet or dry roads, it features a pattern that sees the inner and middle part of the tires designed for wet and winter surfaces while the outer part is specifically designed for effective cornering.

3 DIRECTIONAL ( unidirectional)

Tires with the unidirectional treading are built for high performance cars or vehicles as the case may be, this pattern entails a v shape in the middle of the tire coupled with large space of grooves between the tread blocks, these sort of pattern basically improves resistance especially at high speed , which makes it best suited for high performance vehicles.

4. DIRECTIONAL (asymmetrical)

Tires with the asymmetrical treading are a fusion of several combinations, this involves the v pattern attributed to the directional tread and also the dry weather traction, in other words this sort of tire could be more ideal in both ways ,

In other words always use a tire best suited for your kind of vehicle and road condition as the first measure of safety begins with

For clarity sake, the first paragraph is simple and straight it talks about the importance of having a set of good tires in your car and what the features you need to look out for when identifying an ideal tire, try to read through it isnt rocket science, Thanks.

I am sure you missed the message looking for punctuation marks. Nigerians and our obsession with the English language! The average Nigerian is an anglomaniac.
